In this chapter, you will learn about a topic that has changed the way we think about autonomous driving: Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Throughout this chapter, you will learn how these algorithms can be used to build a self-driving car perception stack, and you'll learn about the different components needed to design and train a deep neural network. This chapter will teach you everything you need to know about ANNs. You will also learn about the building blocks of feedforward neural networks, a very useful basic type of ANN. Specifically, we'll look at the hidden layers of a feedforward neural network. These hidden layers are important as they differentiate the mode of action of neural networks from the rest of the Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. We'll begin by looking at the mathematical definition of feedforward...

Overview of this book
Thanks to a number of recent breakthroughs, self-driving car technology is now an emerging subject in the field of artificial intelligence and has shifted data scientists' focus to building autonomous cars that will transform the automotive industry. This book is a comprehensive guide to use deep learning and computer vision techniques to develop autonomous cars.
Starting with the basics of self-driving cars (SDCs), this book will take you through the deep neural network techniques required to get up and running with building your autonomous vehicle. Once you are comfortable with the basics, you'll delve into advanced computer vision techniques and learn how to use deep learning methods to perform a variety of computer vision tasks such as finding lane lines, improving image classification, and so on. You will explore the basic structure and working of a semantic segmentation model and get to grips with detecting cars using semantic segmentation. The book also covers advanced applications such as behavior-cloning and vehicle detection using OpenCV, transfer learning, and deep learning methodologies to train SDCs to mimic human driving.
By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to implement a variety of neural networks to develop your own autonomous vehicle using modern Python libraries.
