This book provides a comprehensive introduction on applying deep learning to the visual recognition of objects, bridging the gap between theoretical algorithms and high-impact practical implementations. Within these pages, readers will find a detailed exploration of advanced techniques for image restoration—including UNet-based defogging, feature fusion GANs, and ESRGAN super-resolution—alongside high-performance detection models. Specialized applications such as underwater crack segmentation using transfer learning, marine biological detection, and real-time analysis through YOLOv4, RetinaNet, and LSTM-integrated networks are also covered to provide researchers and engineers with a technical blueprint for solving diverse real-world computer vision challenges. Additionally, this work is also suitable as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent Science and Technology, Computer Science, and Automation.
