Deep Learning Math from Scratch and Practical Data Visualization: Conquering with Excel Without Coding

[Lecture Summary: From Pixels to Practice, Building a Business Card Recognition System] * **Pre-processing:** We learned how to remove noise and extract the 'skeleton' of a business card using Gaussian Blur and Canny Edge detection. * **Hough Transform:** We went through an "audition" process to select the real 'borders' from tens of thousands of points using the $(\rho, \theta)$ voting system. * **Geometric Reasoning:** By solving complex linear equations through substitution and matrices, we precisely targeted the four corners $(x, y)$ of the business card. * **Data Sorting & Filtering:** We mastered data refinement techniques, such as removing overlapping lines and labeling the found points in the order of 'top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left.' * **The Magic of Transformation (Perspective):** We concluded with practical techniques for straightening tilted images or, conversely, compositing an image into a frame of your choice. 📢 "Does looking at formulas give you a headache? It was the same for me." When I first took on an image processing project in the field, what bothered me most were the screens full of $\sin$ and $\cos$ formulas. Textbooks were full of nothing but equations, and nowhere provided answers to practical problems like, **"Why can't this find the business card in my code?"** Through this lecture, I want to help you solve three chronic problems you will encounter: 1. **"The problem where math feels like an alien language"** → Solved through [The Power of Analogy]. Instead of simply memorizing linear equations, I help you understand them through **'lasers fired from the origin'** and **'shadow play.'** Once you understand the principles, the code follows naturally. I translate formulas into the 'easiest language' that I discovered after countless trials and errors. 2. **"The problem where you know the theory but can't apply it"** → Solved through [Data Auditions]. Why are there 10 borders on my business card? Why is the order of the corners scrambled? I have revealed all my debugging know-how on how to filter and sort the 'messy data' you inevitably encounter in practice. The audition logic for separating the wheat from the chaff will take your project to the next level. 3. **"The problem where the result is boring"** → Finished with [Interactive Composition]. This isn't a lecture that ends with just looking at black-and-white edges. The moment you tuck the business card you created into a 'Hall of Fame frame' that you clicked yourself with a mouse, you will experience **'the magic of manipulating space'** beyond simple coding. "Computer vision is not about math; it's the process of gaining a new set of eyes to see the world." I want to pass on to you that thrilling 'A-ha!' moment I realized in the field. You can close the complex theory books now. Let's paint images freely with the brush of code together!

Why this course is special: Key Advantages • Intuitive Visualization: Directly observe algorithm operations in real-time with Pygame 2D simulations • Practical Implementation Experience: Go beyond theory and internalize autonomous driving algorithms by coding directly • Master Core Algorithms: Focused learning of essential algorithms such as Dijkstra, Pure Pursuit, ICP, etc. • Step-by-step Advanced Learning: Systematic difficulty progression from basics to SLAM • Lidar-based SLAM: Practical map building and localization in unknown environments

Deep learning is a technology that learns data through neural networks composed of combinations of complex functions. In this lecture, we will mathematically understand the core concepts of deep learning and analyze them from the perspective of matrix operations. In particular, utilizing Python's NumPy library, we will visually examine how parameters are updated by directly implementing the forward and backward propagation processes of deep learning. Even the seemingly complex neural network structure becomes clear when analyzed with matrix operations. This lecture focuses more on understanding concepts than coding and is suitable for students who wish to intuitively grasp the principles of deep learning mathematically.
