Object detection is a basic visual identification problem in computer vision that has been explored extensively over the years. Visual object detection seeks to discover objects of specific target classes in a given image with pinpoint accuracy and apply a class label to each object instance. Object recognition strategies based on deep learning have been intensively investigated in recent years as a result of the remarkable success of deep learning-based image categorization. In this book, we go through in detail detector architectures, feature learning, proposal generation, sampling strategies, and other issues that affect detection performance. The book describes every newly proposed novel solution but skips through the fundamentals so that readers can see the field's cutting edge more rapidly. Moreover, unlike prior object detection publications, this project analyses deep learning-based object identification methods systematically and exhaustively, and also gives the most recent detection solutions and a collection of noteworthy research trends. The book focuses primarily on step-by-step discussion, an extensive literature review, detailed analysis and discussion, and rigorous experimentation results. Furthermore, a practical approach is displayed and encouraged.

As a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence, deep learning has achieved very impressive success in solving grand challenges in many fields including speech recognition, natural language processing, computer vision, image and video processing, and multimedia. This article provides a historical overview of deep learning and focus on its applications in object recognition, detection, and segmentation, which are key challenges of computer vision and have numerous applications to images and videos. The discussed research topics on object recognition include image classification on ImageNet, face recognition, and video classification. The detection part covers general object detection on ImageNet, pedestrian detection, face landmark detection (face alignment), and human landmark detection (pose estimation). On the segmentation side, the article discusses the most recent progress on scene labeling, semantic segmentation, face parsing, human parsing and saliency detection. Object recognition is considered as whole-image classification, while detection and segmentation are pixelwise classification tasks. Their fundamental differences will be discussed in this article. Fully convolutional neural networks and highly efficient forward and backward propagation algorithms specially designed for pixelwise classification task will be introduced. The covered application domains are also much diversified. Human and face images have regular structures, while general object and scene images have much more complex variations in geometric structures and layout. Videos include the temporal dimension. Therefore, they need to be processed with different deep models. All the selected domain applications have received tremendous attentions in the computer vision and multimedia communities. Through concrete examples of these applications, we explain the key points which make deep learning outperform conventional computer vision systems. (1) Different than traditional pattern recognition systems, which heavily rely on manually designed features, deep learning automatically learns hierarchical feature representations from massive training data and disentangles hidden factors of input data through multi-level nonlinear mappings. (2) Different than existing pattern recognition systems which sequentially design or train their key components, deep learning is able to jointly optimize all the components and crate synergy through close interactions among them. (3) While most machine learning models can be approximated with neural networks with shallow structures, for some tasks, the expressive power of deep models increases exponentially as their architectures go deep. Deep models are especially good at learning global contextual feature representation with their deep structures. (4) Benefitting from the large learning capacity of deep models, some classical computer vision challenges can be recast as high-dimensional data transform problems and can be solved from new perspectives. Finally, some open questions and future works regarding to deep learning in object recognition, detection, and segmentation will be discussed.

Computer vision is the science and technology of making machines that see. It is concerned with the theory, design and implementation of algorithms that can automatically process visual data to recognize objects, track and recover their shape and spatial layout. The International Computer Vision Summer School - ICVSS was established in 2007 to provide both an objective and clear overview and an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art research in Computer Vision. The courses are delivered by world renowned experts in the field, from both academia and industry, and cover both theoretical and practical aspects of real Computer Vision problems. The school is organized every year by University of Cambridge (Computer Vision and Robotics Group) and University of Catania (Image Processing Lab). Different topics are covered each year. A summary of the past Computer Vision Summer Schools can be found at: http://www.dmi.unict.it/icvss This edited volume contains a selection of articles covering some of the talks and tutorials held during the last editions of the school. The chapters provide an in-depth overview of challenging areas with key references to the existing literature.
