Mastering OpenCV 4 with Python

Deep learning characteristics

Deep learning has some key differences when compared with traditional machine learning approaches. Additionally, deep learning techniques surpass machine learning in many computer vision tasks, but some key considerations should be taken into account in order to know when to apply each technique to accomplish a certain computation task. All of these considerations are briefly summarized as follows:

• Deep learning algorithms need to have a high-end infrastructure to train properly, contrary to machine learning techniques that can run on low-end machines. Indeed, deep learning algorithms inherently perform a large amount of computation that can be optimized using a GPU.
• When there is a lack of domain understanding ...
