Introduction to Deep Learning
Computer vision is one of the most popular applications of deep learning. It involves teaching machines to interpret and understand digital images and videos, and is used in a wide range of applications, such as self-driving cars, facial recognition, and medical imaging.
To understand how deep learning techniques are used in computer vision, it is important to first understand how traditional computer vision systems work. Traditional computer vision systems rely on hand-crafted features, which are extracted from images using algorithms designed by human experts. These features are then fed into machine learning algorithms, such as decision trees or support vector machines, to classify the images. While these systems can be effective in some applications, they are limited by the quality of the hand-crafted features and the complexity of the algorithms.
Deep learning, on the other hand, uses neural networks to automatically learn features from the raw image data. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are particularly effective for image classification tasks, as they can learn to recognize patterns in the image data at different levels of abstraction. For example, the first layer of a CNN might learn to recognize edges and corners, while the subsequent layers learn to recognize more complex shapes and textures. Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) can also be used for computer vision tasks, such as video captioning, where they can learn to generate natural language descriptions of the contents of a video.
Deep learning has revolutionized computer vision, enabling machines to recognize and classify images with unprecedented accuracy. It has also enabled new applications, such as real-time object detection and segmentation, which were previously impossible. However, deep learning models can be computationally intensive and require large amounts of training data, which can be a challenge in some applications.
