Uncertainty Estimation in Image Segmentation using Monte Carlo Dropout in PyTorch

In high-stakes fields like medical imaging, autonomous driving, and remote sensing, a wrong prediction made with high confidence can be catastrophic. That’s where Uncertainty Estimation steps in—empowering your model to express doubt. And with techniques like Monte Carlo Dropout, you can transform any deterministic deep network into a model that Continue Reading

Test Time Augmentation (TTA) for Segmentation in PyTorch

In recent posts, we’ve built a strong foundation around multiclass image segmentation using PyTorch. From creating segmentation masks, converting RGB to class index masks, overlaying results using OpenCV, to training a full-fledged UNet model and visualizing it with GradCAM, we’ve covered the full training pipeline. But what happens when your Continue Reading

GradCAM Heatmaps for Segmentation with UNet in PyTorch

In semantic segmentation, understanding how a deep learning model arrives at its decisions is crucial—especially in fields like medical imaging, agriculture, and autonomous systems. While U-Net and other architectures can deliver high accuracy, they often act as black boxes. In this blog post, we go beyond prediction accuracy. We’ll visualize Continue Reading

Multiclass Segmentation in PyTorch using U-Net

Semantic segmentation is a crucial task in computer vision that involves labeling each pixel in an image with its corresponding class. In this blog post, we’ll dive into building a multiclass semantic segmentation pipeline using the U-Net architecture with PyTorch. Our goal is to segment different types of weeds from Continue Reading

Converting RGB Mask to Class Index Masks in Python

In the world of semantic segmentation, each pixel in an image carries a meaning — a class label that represents an object or region. These labels can be stored in various formats, and one common way is using a multi-class RGB mask, where each class is represented by a unique Continue Reading

ViTPose: Human Pose Estimation with (ViT) Vision Transformers

Human pose estimation is one of the most critical tasks in computer vision. It aims to localize anatomical key points (like shoulders, knees, and wrists) on the human body. Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have long dominated this field, but a new horizon has emerged with the advent of transformers Continue Reading

YOLO: From Real-Time to State-of-the-Art Object Detection

The You Only Look Once (YOLO) series has revolutionized object detection since its inception in 2015. Developed initially by Joseph Redmon and colleagues, YOLO redefined speed and efficiency in computer vision by transforming detection into a single regression problem. Unlike earlier two-stage detectors (e.g., R-CNN), which required multiple passes over Continue Reading

GradCAM and its Implementation in PyTorch

Deep learning models, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), often function as black boxes, making it difficult to interpret their decision-making processes. Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (GradCAM) is a powerful technique used to visualize and understand these models by highlighting the regions of an image that contribute most to a prediction. Continue Reading

Visual Question Answering from Scratch using TensorFlow

Visual Question Answering (VQA) is a fascinating field in artificial intelligence where a system answers questions about an image. This combines natural language processing (NLP) to understand the question and computer vision to analyze the image. For example, given an image of a red apple and the question “What color Continue Reading
