A Gentle Introduction to the Promise of Deep Learning for Computer Vision

Last Updated on July 5, 2019

The promise of deep learning in the field of computer vision is better performance by models that may require more data but less digital signal processing expertise to train and operate.

There is a lot of hype and large claims around deep learning methods, but beyond the hype, deep learning methods are achieving state-of-the-art results on challenging problems. Notably, on computer vision tasks such as image classification, object recognition, and face detection.

In this post, you will discover the specific promises that deep learning methods have for tackling computer vision problems.

After reading this post, you will know:

  • The promises of deep learning for computer vision.
  • Examples of where deep learning has or is delivering on its promises.
  • Key deep learning methods and applications for computer vision.
