TensorFlow 2.0 Computer Vision Cookbook

By: Jesús Martínez

Overview of this book

Computer vision is a scientific field that enables machines to identify and process digital images and videos. This book focuses on independent recipes to help you perform various computer vision tasks using TensorFlow. The book begins by taking you through the basics of deep learning for computer vision, along with covering TensorFlow 2.x’s key features, such as the Keras and tf.data.Dataset APIs. You’ll then learn about the ins and outs of common computer vision tasks, such as image classification, transfer learning, image enhancing and styling, and object detection. The book also covers autoencoders in domains such as inverse image search indexes and image denoising, while offering insights into various architectures used in the recipes, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), region-based CNNs (R-CNNs), VGGNet, and You Only Look Once (YOLO). Moving on, you’ll discover tips and tricks to solve any problems faced while building various computer vision applications. Finally, you’ll delve into more advanced topics such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), video processing, and AutoML, concluding with a section focused on techniques to help you boost the performance of your networks. By the end of this TensorFlow book, you’ll be able to confidently tackle a wide range of computer vision problems using TensorFlow 2.x.

Preface

The release of TensorFlow 2.x in 2019 was one of the biggest and most anticipated events in the deep learning and artificial intelligence arena, because it brought with it long-overdue improvements to this popular and relevant framework, mainly focused on simplicity and ease of use.

The adoption of Keras as the official TensorFlow high-level API, the ability to switch back and forth between eager and graph-based execution (thanks to tf.function), and the ability to create complex data pipelines with tf.data are just a few of the great additions that TensorFlow 2.x brings to the table.

In this book, you will discover a vast amount of recipes that will teach you how to take advantage of these advancements in the context of deep learning applied to computer vision. We will cover a wide gamut of applications, ranging from image classification to more challenging ones, such as object detection, image segmentation, and Automated Machine Learning (AutoML).

By the end of this book, you’ll be prepared and confident enough to tackle any computer vision problem that comes your way with the invaluable help of TensorFlow 2.x!
