Advanced Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras - Second Edition

By: Rowel Atienza

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.

10. Example dataset

A small dataset made of 1,000 640 X 480 RGB train images and 50 640 X 480 RGB test images was collected using an inexpensive USB camera (A4TECH PK-635G). The dataset images were labeled using VGG Image Annotator (VIA) [5] to detect the three objects: 1) Soda can, 2) Juice can, and 3) Bottled water. Figure 11.10.1 shows a sample UI of the labeling process.

A utility script for collecting images can be found in utils/video_capture.py in the GitHub repository. The script can speed up the data collection process since it automatically captures an image every 5 seconds.

Data collection and labeling is a time-consuming activity. In the industry, this is typically outsourced to a third-party annotation company. The use of automatic data labeling software is another option to accelerate the data labeling task.

With this example dataset, we can now train our object detection...
