Overview of this book

In this book, you will find several recently proposed methods in various domains of computer vision. You will start by setting up the proper Python environment to work on practical applications. This includes setting up libraries such as OpenCV, TensorFlow, and Keras using Anaconda. Using these libraries, you'll start to understand the concepts of image transformation and filtering. You will find a detailed explanation of feature detectors such as FAST and ORB; you'll use them to find similar-looking objects. With an introduction to convolutional neural nets, you will learn how to build a deep neural net using Keras and how to use it to classify the Fashion-MNIST dataset. With regard to object detection, you will learn the implementation of a simple face detector as well as the workings of complex deep-learning-based object detectors such as Faster R-CNN and SSD using TensorFlow. You'll get started with semantic segmentation using FCN models and track objects with Deep SORT. Not only this, you will also use Visual SLAM techniques such as ORB-SLAM on a standard dataset. By the end of this book, you will have a firm understanding of the different computer vision techniques and how to apply them in your applications.

Convolutional Neural Networks

Convolutional Neural Networks, also known as ConvNets, use this convolution property in a neural network to compute better features, which can then be used to classify images or detect objects. As shown in the previous section, convolution consists of kernels which compute an output by sliding and taking a dot product with the input image. In a simple neural network, the neurons of a layer are connected to all the neurons of the next layer, but CNNs consist of convolution layers which have the property of the receptive field. Only a small portion of a previous layer's neurons are connected to the neurons of the current layer. As a result, small region features are computed through every layer as shown in the following figure:

As we have seen in a simple neural network, the neuron takes an input from one or more of previous neurons' output...
