29. Image Classification & Regression Challenges

The Project

Next, you'll be tasked with completing an end-to-end facial keypoint detection system that learns to locate the eyes, mouth, and edges of a face in an image. This is an interesting regression challenge, and will test your knowledge of CNN architectures!

Further Resources and a mini-project (optional)

If you complete the project, and are looking for another challenge to solve with computer vision and deep learning, check out the Elective Section: Skin Cancer Detection in which Sebastian Thrun walks you through his use of CNNs for detecting skin cancer. This is an ongoing filed of research and it is extremely challenging to create a good diagnostic model.
