Building Computer Vision Applications Using Artificial Neural Networks

Computer vision is constantly evolving, and this book has been updated to reflect new topics that have emerged in the field since the first edition's publication. All code used in the book has also been fully updated.

This second edition features new material covering image manipulation practices, image segmentation, feature extraction, and object identification using real-life scenarios to help reinforce each concept. These topics are essential for building advanced computer vision applications, and you'll gain a thorough understanding of them. The book's source code has been updated from TensorFlow 1.x to 2.x, and includes step-by-step examples using both OpenCV and TensorFlow with Python.

Upon completing this book, you'll have the knowledge and skills to build your own computer vision applications using neural networks
