Overview of this book

Deep learning is the driving force behind many recent advances in various computer vision (CV) applications. This book takes a hands-on approach to help you to solve over 50 CV problems using PyTorch1.x on real-world datasets. You’ll start by building a neural network (NN) from scratch using NumPy and PyTorch and discover best practices for tweaking its hyperparameters. You’ll then perform image classification using convolutional neural networks and transfer learning and understand how they work. As you progress, you’ll implement multiple use cases of 2D and 3D multi-object detection, segmentation, human-pose-estimation by learning about the R-CNN family, SSD, YOLO, U-Net architectures, and the Detectron2 platform. The book will also guide you in performing facial expression swapping, generating new faces, and manipulating facial expressions as you explore autoencoders and modern generative adversarial networks. You’ll learn how to combine CV with NLP techniques, such as LSTM and transformer, and RL techniques, such as Deep Q-learning, to implement OCR, image captioning, object detection, and a self-driving car agent. Finally, you'll move your NN model to production on the AWS Cloud. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to leverage modern NN architectures to solve over 50 real-world CV problems confidently.

Advanced GANs to Manipulate Images

In the previous chapter, we learned about leveraging Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate realistic images. In this chapter, we will learn about leveraging GANs to manipulate images. We will learn about two variations of generating images using GANs – supervised and unsupervised methods. In the supervised method, we will provide the input and output pair combinations to generate images based on an input image, which we will learn about in the Pix2Pix GAN. In the unsupervised method, we will specify the input and output, however, we will not provide one-to-one correspondence between the input and output, but expect the GAN to learn the structure of the two classes, and convert an image from one class to another, which we will learn about in CycleGAN.

Another class of unsupervised image manipulation involves generating images...
