Key benefits

  • Build and train powerful neural network models to build an autonomous car
  • Implement computer vision, deep learning, and AI techniques to create automotive algorithms
  • Overcome the challenges faced while automating different aspects of driving using modern Python libraries and architectures

Description

Thanks to a number of recent breakthroughs, self-driving car technology is now an emerging subject in the field of artificial intelligence and has shifted data scientists' focus to building autonomous cars that will transform the automotive industry. This book is a comprehensive guide to use deep learning and computer vision techniques to develop autonomous cars. Starting with the basics of self-driving cars (SDCs), this book will take you through the deep neural network techniques required to get up and running with building your autonomous vehicle. Once you are comfortable with the basics, you'll delve into advanced computer vision techniques and learn how to use deep learning methods to perform a variety of computer vision tasks such as finding lane lines, improving image classification, and so on. You will explore the basic structure and working of a semantic segmentation model and get to grips with detecting cars using semantic segmentation. The book also covers advanced applications such as behavior-cloning and vehicle detection using OpenCV, transfer learning, and deep learning methodologies to train SDCs to mimic human driving. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to implement a variety of neural networks to develop your own autonomous vehicle using modern Python libraries.

Who is this book for?

If you are a deep learning engineer, AI researcher, or anyone looking to implement deep learning and computer vision techniques to build self-driving blueprint solutions, this book is for you. Anyone who wants to learn how various automotive-related algorithms are built, will also find this book useful. Python programming experience, along with a basic understanding of deep learning, is necessary to get the most of this book.

What you will learn

  • Implement deep neural network from scratch using the Keras library
  • Understand the importance of deep learning in self-driving cars
  • Get to grips with feature extraction techniques in image processing using the OpenCV library
  • Design a software pipeline that detects lane lines in videos
  • Implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) image classifier for traffic signal signs
  • Train and test neural networks for behavioral-cloning by driving a car in a virtual simulator
  • Discover various state-of-the-art semantic segmentation and object detection architectures

Being an avid learner of self-driving cars, I read many research papers to learn the basic concept of Autonomous cars. Those papers are a mostly advanced concept that made me realize to look into a book that can break down the advanced concept. Finally, I found this book. The authors explained every section very well. The good thing about the book is it has practical implementation with many self-driving car projects. Besides, Learners can grab the idea of different neural networks.Summary: I highly recommend this book for the readers who wants to learn Self Driving Cars from basic to advanced level.

This book keeps you engrossed with charts, graphs and pictures, not to mention, plenty of code to get stated with. Without delving too much into the mathematical details, this book manages to give you the fundamental principal and the breath of technical know-how required to embark into the field of self-driving-car.Pros: 1. Very well structured. 2. Plenty of code, charts, graphs to keep the reader interested. 3. General introduction without getting into the nitty gritty helps the reader to get the overall picture without being lost into the specifics.Cons: 1. I would agree with other reviewers about their critic of the book not having a end-to-end project connecting the sections.While this is an introductory book, a section dedicated to discussing some of the latest research with deep learning in self-driving-cars could have ushered a more intrigued reader. Kudos to the authors for taking the time to write the book.

It is a very well written book that introduces beginners like myself to the various technologies used in autonomous vehicles. I got an understanding of the make up of what goes into designing a self driving car & how standards are still evolving due to complexities, differences in hardware, and computational aspects. I particularly enjoyed reading Section 2 about "Computer Vision Techniques" and Section 3 about "Behavioral Cloning".#deeplearning #ai #machinelearning #artificialintelligence #computervision #selfdrivingcars #autonomousvehicles #autonomous

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
