深度学习实践:计算机视觉

计算机视觉 (Computer Vision)

Deep Learning(DL) is undeniably one of the most popular tools used in the field of Computer Vision(CV). It’s popular enough to be deemed as the current de facto standard for training models to be later deployed in CV applications. But is DL the only available option for us to develop CV applications? What about Traditional techniques that have served the CV community for an eternity? Has the time to move ahead & drop working on Traditional CV techniques all together in favor of DL arrived already? In this article, we try to answer some of these questions with comprehensive use-case scenarios in support of both DL & Traditional CV implementations.

不可否认， 深度学习(DL)是计算机视觉(CV)领域中使用最广泛的工具之一。 它足够流行，可以被认为是培训模型的当前事实上的标准，以便以后在CV应用程序中部署。 但是DL是我们开发CV应用程序的唯一可用选择吗？ 对于为CV社区提供永恒服务的传统技术呢？ 是否已经到了继续推进传统CV技术并放弃支持DL的时候了？ 在本文中，我们尝试使用全面的用例场景来回答其中的一些问题，以支持DL和传统CV实现。

历史的第一位 (A Little Bit Of History First)

The field of Computer Vision started gaining traction dating as far back as the late 1950s till the late 1960s when researchers wanted to teach computers “to be…human”. It was around this time when researchers tried to mimic the human visual system in order to achieve a new stepping stone to endow machines with human intelligence. Thanks to the extensive research being done back then, Traditional CV techniques like Edge Detection, Motion Estimation, Optical Flow were developed.

最早可以追溯到1950年代末直到1960年代末的计算机视觉领域开始受到人们的关注，当时研究人员希望教计算机“ 成为……人类 ”。 大约在这个时候，研究人员试图模仿人类的视觉系统，以便为赋予人类智能的机器提供新的垫脚石。 由于当时进行了广泛的研究，因此开发了传统的CV技术，例如边缘检测 ， 运动估计 ， 光流 。

It wasn’t until the 1980s when Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs) were developed. Aptly named, the Neocognitron which was the first CNN with the usual multilayered & shared weights Neural Nets we see today. But the popularity of DL skyrocketed only after LeNet was developed jointly by Yann LeCun & his colleagues in the 1990s. It was a pioneering moment since no other previous algorithms could ever achieve such an incredibly high accuracy as CNNs.

直到1980年代， 卷积神经网络(CNN)才被开发出来。 恰当命名的Neocognitron是我们今天看到的第一个具有通常的多层和共享重量神经网络的 CNN。 但是只有在1990年代Yann LeCun及其同事共同开发LeNet之后，DL的流行才飞速上升。 这是一个开创性的时刻，因为以前没有其他算法能够像CNN一样达到如此令人难以置信的高精度。

A decade and a half later, CNNs have made such vast developments, it even outperforms a human being with accuracy rates as high as 99% in the popular
