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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the importance of computer vision and the challenges we face in the field of computer vision. We also learned about color spaces, edge detection, and the different types of image transformation, as well as the many examples of using OpenCV. We are going to use a few of these techniques in later chapters. 

We learned about the building blocks of an image and how a computer sees an image. We also learned about the importance of color space techniques, such as convolution. We are going to apply all the techniques that we covered here in future chapters.

In the next chapter, we are going to apply computer-vision techniques and implement a software pipeline for detecting road markings. We will first apply this process to an image and then apply it to a video. In the next chapter, we are going to apply several of the techniques that we covered in this chapter, such as edge detection and Hough transformation.
