Description

Computer vision has led the artificial intelligence renaissance. In a few short years, we have seen advancements in computer vision research turned into production-level systems from web applications to mobile devices and the automotive industry, to name a few. Much of this progress is derived from convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and techniques such as object classification, localization and detection, tracking, and segmentation are foundational concepts for most vision-based applications today.

PyTorch enables researchers and practitioners to more easily build CNNs for computer vision. Released in early 2017, it has increasingly gained popularity in the computer vision community. Mo Patel and Neejole Patel offer an overview of computer vision fundamentals and walk you through PyTorch code explanations for notable objection classification and object detection models. There will be an equal balance of theory and hands-on PyTorch coding. You’ll also learn how to deploy PyTorch models into production via Caffe2.
