Hands-On Computer Vision with Detectron2 - Develop object detection and segmentation models with a code and visualization approach

Van Vung Pham

Summary

Computer vision is a crucial component of many modern businesses, including automobiles, robotics, and manufacturing, and its market is growing rapidly. This book helps you explore Detectron2, Facebook's next-gen library providing cutting-edge detection and segmentation algorithms. It’s used in research and practical projects at Facebook to support computer vision tasks, and its models can be exported to TorchScript or ONNX for deployment.
The book provides you with step-by-step guidance on using existing models in Detectron2 for computer vision tasks (object detection, instance segmentation, key-point detection, semantic detection, and panoptic segmentation). You’ll get to grips with the theories and visualizations of Detectron2’s architecture and learn how each module in Detectron2 works. As you advance, you’ll build your practical skills by working on two real-life projects (preparing data, training models, fine-tuning models, and deployments) for object detection and instance segmentation tasks using Detectron2. Finally, you’ll deploy Detectron2 models into production and develop Detectron2 applications for mobile devices.
By the end of this deep learning book, you’ll have gained sound theoretical knowledge and useful hands-on skills to help you solve advanced computer vision tasks using Detectron2.

Tempestates Temporalis - The...

D.J. Rees

THE OCCULTED MODEL OF TIME AND THE TEMPORAL STORMS THREATENING OUR REALITY
Finally, a way out of Plato’s Cave.
Shattering the cavern walls with rigorous, groundbreaking physics, Tempestates Temporalis is the blueprint for a new era. As anomalous high strangeness becomes the new normal, theoretical physics must finally account for what it has long ignored: phenomenology, parapsychology, and ancient occult technologies.
In this provocative work, D.J. Rees introduces the Resonant Actuation of Fluid Time (RAFT)—a radical framework that replaces our static understanding of spacetime with a dynamic, fluid reality. Rees argues that our universe’s ground state is a Time-First Fluid Substrate known as the "Pleroma." This temporal ocean doesn't just surround us; it pummels against our consensus reality, shaping existence itself.
Why you must read Tempestates Temporalis:
A New Reality: Discover a model where time is a literal, flowing ocean. See how physical matter—previously viewed as "dead rocks"—emerges as stable, self-organizing vortex solitons within this vast, temporal fluid.
The Unification of the Impossible: Bridging the gap between mainstream science and the unexplained. Explore how fluid dynamics equations explain Dark Matter, the Hubble tension, UAP flight telemetry, remote viewing, and the Mandela Effect under one unifying theory.
The dam has broken. The Pleroma is rising.
Are you ready to stop observing the waves and start riding them? Whether you dive into the pages or immerse yourself in the audio journey, you are stepping onto the deck. Take the helm of the RAFT and perceive the universe for what it truly is: a continuous, breathing ocean of infinite potential.

Dogopolis - How Dogs and Humans...

Chris Pearson

Dogopolis presents a surprising source for urban innovation in the history of three major cities: human-canine relationships. 
  
Stroll through any American or European city today and you probably won’t get far before seeing a dog being taken for a walk. It’s expected that these domesticated animals can easily navigate sidewalks, streets, and other foundational elements of our built environment. But what if our cities were actually shaped in response to dogs more than we ever realized? 
 
Chris Pearson’s Dogopolis boldly and convincingly asserts that human-canine relations were a crucial factor in the formation of modern urban living. Focusing on New York, London, and Paris from the early nineteenth century into the 1930s, Pearson shows that human reactions to dogs significantly remolded them and other contemporary western cities. It’s an unalterable fact that dogs—often filthy, bellicose, and sometimes off-putting—run away, spread rabies, defecate, and breed wherever they like, so as dogs became a more and more common in nineteenth-century middle-class life, cities had to respond to people’s fear of them and revulsion at their least desirable traits. The gradual integration of dogs into city life centered on disgust at dirt, fear of crime and vagrancy, and the promotion of humanitarian sentiments. On the other hand, dogs are some people’s most beloved animal companions, and human compassion and affection for pets and strays were equally powerful forces in shaping urban modernity. Dogopolis details the complex interrelations among emotions, sentiment, and the ways we manifest our feelings toward what we love—showing that together they can actually reshape society.

Design Orchestrator - From...

Mike Newman

Design is changing faster than most teams can comfortably absorb.

AI tools are accelerating execution, expectations are shifting, and many UX and product designers are quietly wondering what their role will look like in the next phase of the industry.

In Design Orchestrator, product designer Michael Newman explores what this moment really means for designers working in UX, product design, and digital teams. Rather than focusing on AI tools themselves, this audiobook looks at the deeper shift happening inside organisations as technology changes how design work is produced, evaluated, and valued.

Drawing on decades of experience across major digital transitions—from early web design and ecommerce to mobile apps and design systems—Newman offers a calm and practical perspective on the current wave of AI anxiety affecting the design profession.

As AI makes execution faster and cheaper, the value of design is moving upward. The most valuable designers are no longer defined by the number of screens they produce, but by their ability to frame problems, guide conversations, align teams, and shape better decisions.

Inside this audiobook you will discover:

• What is actually changing in UX and product design—and what isn’t
• Why communication and influence are becoming more important for designers
• Practical ways to explain the value of design beyond producing interfaces
• A framework for repositioning yourself as an AI-era Design Orchestrator
• A simple seven-day reset to rethink your role and direction

This is not a book about mastering AI tools.

It is a guide to thinking clearly about your role as a designer in an AI-accelerated world.
