By using machine learning models to extract information from images, organizations today are making breakthroughs in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and other industries. This practical book shows ML engineers and data scientists how to solve a variety of image problems including classification, object detection, autoencoders, image generation, counting, and captioning with proven ML techniques.
Google engineers Valliappa Lakshmanan, Martin Görner, and Ryan Gillard show you how to develop accurate and explainable computer vision ML models and put them into large-scale production using robust ML architecture in a flexible and maintainable way. You'll learn how to design, train, evaluate, and predict with models written in TensorFlow/Keras. This book also covers best practices to improve the operationalization of the models using end-to-end ML pipelines.
You'll learn how to:

Design ML architecture for computer vision tasks

Select a model (such as ResNet, SqueezeNet, or EfficientNet) appropriate to your task

Create an end-to-end ML pipeline to train, evaluate, deploy, and explain your model

Preprocess images for data augmentation and to support learnability

Incorporate explainability and responsible AI best practices

Deploy image models as web services or on edge devices

Monitor and manage ML models
