Deep Learning in Visual Computing

CHAPTER 10 Advances in Visual Computing through Deep Learning

In the past few years, there has been a flurry of positive developments in the area of deep learning. This wave of developments, of course, has caught up in the area of visual computing too. From basic image processing tasks to visual analytics, the field of visual computing has benefited immensely from the tide of deep learning. Among the deep learning techniques, the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been extensively studied and applied in solving problems related to visual computing. With the explosion of the data, availability of complex pre-trained CNN networks and models, and also with the ease by which solutions or models in one area can be adapted to solve the challenges ...
