Overview of this book

Advanced Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras, Second Edition is a completely updated edition of the bestselling guide to the advanced deep learning techniques available today. Revised for TensorFlow 2.x, this edition introduces you to the practical side of deep learning with new chapters on unsupervised learning using mutual information, object detection (SSD), and semantic segmentation (FCN and PSPNet), further allowing you to create your own cutting-edge AI projects. Using Keras as an open-source deep learning library, the book features hands-on projects that show you how to create more effective AI with the most up-to-date techniques. Starting with an overview of multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), the book then introduces more cutting-edge techniques as you explore deep neural network architectures, including ResNet and DenseNet, and how to create autoencoders. You will then learn about GANs, and how they can unlock new levels of AI performance. Next, you’ll discover how a variational autoencoder (VAE) is implemented, and how GANs and VAEs have the generative power to synthesize data that can be extremely convincing to humans. You'll also learn to implement DRL such as Deep Q-Learning and Policy Gradient Methods, which are critical to many modern results in AI.

1. Object detection

In object detection, the objective is to localize and identify an object in an image. Figure 11.1.1 shows object detection where the target is a Soda can. Localization means that the bounding box of the object must be estimated. Using upper left corner pixel and lower right corner pixel coordinates is a common convention that is used to describe a bounding box. In Figure 11.1.1, the upper left corner pixel has coordinates. (xmin,ymin), while the lower right corner pixel has coordinates (xmax,ymax).The pixel coordinate system has the origin (0,0) at the upper left corner pixel of the entire image.

While performing localization, detection must also identify the object. Identification is the classic recognition or classification task in computer vision. At the minimum, object detection must identify if a bounding box belongs to a known object or to the background. An object detection network can be trained to detect one specific object only, like the Soda can...
