 # tf_vision
-Playground for deep learning with tensorflow in the field of robot vision (let's see where this leads to)
 
-Derived from tensorflow research model object_detection:
+On 15th June 2017 Google released their (pretrained) Computer Vision models via the TensorFlow Object Detection API.  
+These models won the COCO detection challenge (http://cocodataset.org/) 2016. COCO features a large-scale dataset with more than 200k labeled images, 80 object categories and 250k people with keypoints.

+With this repository, I am deriving from the TensorFlow research model object_detection and trying to put all things together, to do fancy things incl. infering on live video data. Applying it to Robotics is one of the major goals.
