This practical book shows you how to employ machine learning models to extract information from images. ML engineers and data scientists will learn how to solve a variety of image problems including classification, object detection, autoencoders, image generation, counting, and captioning with proven ML techniques. This book provides a great introduction to end-to-end deep learning: dataset creation, data preprocessing, model design, model training, evaluation, deployment, and interpretability.

Google engineers Valliappa Lakshmanan, Martin G�rner, 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 or Keras.

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
