Custom Face Detection Project Presentation

Event page: https://www.meetup.com/Deep-Learning-Adventures/events/280823193

Hello dear friends,

We hope you enjoyed summer 2021 ?️ and are now ready for a new deep learning adventure! While we were on a break and touring Albania ?? and Greece ?? (George at least ?) we were also working across 2 continents on a cool project that we would love to share with our awesome community.

??? Custom Face Detection Project ???

In this project, we will share with you how to train a custom object detection model using a custom set of training images with TFLite Model Maker (a cool new TF library ? released in April 2020 ). We will then deploy our model to an Android app using TFLite Task Library.

We will also cover our approach on collaborating as a team remotely with 6-7 hours time difference in the US ? and Europe ?

Specifically we will cover:
Part 1/3
- A brief demo and motivation for this project ?
- Our project management style and structure ?
- Our data collection process and annotation ✅

Part 2/3
- TensorFlow Lite Model Maker ?
- tflite-model-maker API ?️
- EfficientDet Paper: Scalable and Efficient Object Detection ?

Part 3/3
- A Colab on how to train our custom object detection model using TFLite Model Maker
- Inference on custom images
- How to convert and deploy a TFLite object detection model using TFLite Task Library
- How to build an Android app that detects custom faces ? ?
