TLDR: A guy in Japan who worked on a solution to identify different types of pastries ended up creating a computer vision framework used in many domains. All this without deep learning. The article delves into the challenge that deep-learning brought to his business.
- Asooka 5y agoI really wish they would open source some of the system or at least write papers outlining the algorithms used. Also I wonder if we can have a neural net that generates these classical approaches given a class of objects to identify. Or maybe once you have trained a neural net to work on recognising basic features, you could transform (compile?) it to an algorithm that can be debugged and expanded.
