About this event

🚁 Join Us for the Workshop: Deep Learning in the Skies!

Ready to take your AI skills to new heights? In this intermediate-to-advanced workshop, we will explore how to combine drone imagery and TensorFlow to build a powerful AI-powered system for precision agriculture.

We will move beyond theory and build a robust end-to-end pipeline that processes aerial images to detect crop health, monitor maturity, and identify leaf anomalies. Whether you are a data scientist, a drone enthusiast, or a developer looking to apply AI to real-world problems, this session is for you!

🚀 What You Will Learn:

  • 🗺️ Data Acquisition & Preprocessing: Master best practices for aerial data, including orthomosaic generation, tiling, and data augmentation techniques to prepare your dataset for training.

  • 🧠 Model Implementation: Implement and compare different AI models using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transfer Learning within TensorFlow pipelines.

  • 📊 Rigorous Evaluation: Learn to measure success using industry-standard metrics like Accuracy, Precision-Recall, and Intersection over Union (IoU) to determine the most effective architecture.

  • 📱 Deployment & Edge Inference: Go live! We will demonstrate how to deploy your monitoring system using Gradio and explore how to run your models on the edge with TensorFlow Lite.
