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.

6. SSD model architecture in Keras

Unlike the code examples in the previous chapters, the tf.keras implementation of SSD is more involved. In comparison to other tf.keras implementations of SSD, the code example presented in this chapter focuses on explaining the key concepts of multi-scale object detection. Some parts of the code implementation can be further optimized such as caching of ground truth anchor boxes classes, offsets, and masks. In our example, the ground truth values are computed by a thread every time an image is loaded from the filesystem.

Figure 11.6.1 shows an overview of code blocks that comprise the tf.keras implementation of SSD. An SSD object in ssd-11.6.1.py builds, trains, and evaluates an SSD model. It sits on top of SSD model creator with the help of model.py and resnet.py and a multi-threaded data generator in data_generator.py. SSD model implements the SSD architecture as shown in Figure 11.5.1. The implementation of each major block will be discussed...
