Computer Vision with Deep Learning

Introduction to Computer Vision

• Definition: Enabling machines to "see" by interpreting visual data (images or


videos).

• Applications: Face recognition, self-driving cars, medical imaging, surveillance,


AR/VR.

Key Topics:

• Image processing vs. Computer Vision

• Visual pipeline: Image acquisition → Preprocessing → Feature extraction →


Interpretation

Digital Image Fundamentals

• Image Representation: Grayscale (1 channel), RGB (3 channels), resolution,


pixels

• Coordinate system: Top-left is (0,0), height and width defined in pixels

Core Concepts:

• Color models: RGB, HSV, Lab

• Bit depth: Number of bits per channel (8-bit = 0–255)

• Image formats: JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF

Image Processing Basics

• Goal: Improve image quality or extract basic features

Techniques:

• Filtering: Gaussian, Median, Sobel

• Thresholding: Binary, Adaptive

• Morphological operations: Dilation, Erosion

• Edge detection: Canny, Laplacian, Sobel


Classical Feature Extraction

Before deep learning, features were hand-engineered.

Popular Techniques:

• SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform)

• SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features)

• ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF)

• HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients)

Deep Learning for Computer Vision

• Why DL? Automates feature extraction and improves accuracy

Frameworks:

• TensorFlow / Keras

• PyTorch

• OpenCV (for preprocessing + visualization)

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)

CNNs are the backbone of modern computer vision.

CNN Architecture:

• Input Layer: Image tensor (H × W × C)

• Convolutional Layer: Filters that scan the image

• Activation Function: ReLU

• Pooling Layer: Max/Avg Pooling for downsampling

• Fully Connected Layer: Classification/Prediction

• Softmax: Output probabilities

Key Terms:

• Padding

• Stride

• Filter/kernel size
• Feature maps

Image Classification with CNN

• Task: Assign a label to an entire image

Workflow:

1. Prepare dataset (e.g., CIFAR-10, MNIST)

2. Preprocess data (normalize, resize)

3. Build model (CNN layers)

4. Compile (loss: categorical crossentropy)

5. Train and evaluate

Transfer Learning

• Use pretrained models (e.g., VGG, ResNet, EfficientNet) trained on ImageNet

• Fine-tuning: Freeze initial layers, retrain later ones on your dataset

Object Detection

• Goal: Locate and classify objects in an image

Approaches:

• Traditional: Sliding window + classifier

• Deep Learning:

o R-CNN, Fast R-CNN, Faster R-CNN

o YOLO (You Only Look Once)

o SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector)

Semantic Segmentation

• Goal: Label each pixel with a class

Architectures:

• U-Net
• SegNet

• DeepLab

Image Generation & GANs

• Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): Generate realistic images

• Components:

o Generator

o Discriminator

Applications:

• Image super-resolution

• Style transfer

• Data augmentation

Vision Transformers (ViTs)

• Alternative to CNNs using attention mechanisms

• Treat image patches as tokens (like NLP)

• Example: ViT, Swin Transformer

Self-Supervised and Contrastive Learning

• Learn useful representations without labels

• SimCLR, MoCo, BYOL

Real-Time Computer Vision

• Techniques for deploying vision models efficiently:

o Quantization

o Pruning

o TensorRT, ONNX

o Edge deployment (e.g., Jetson Nano, Coral)
