Talks
Spotting Sharks with the TensorFlow Object Detection API
Object detection is about locating and classifying the objects in an image. In this worked example, we’ll use TensorFlow to build an application that can tell the difference between a sneaky shark and a sunburnt surfer. We’ll demystify the jargon, and learn about R-CNN, Faster R-CNN, YOLO and SSD.
