Alexey Zinoviev presented the webinar “Object Detection and Image Recognition with Kotlin,” where he explored a deep learning library written in Kotlin, described how to detect objects of different types in images, and explained how to create a Kotlin Web Application using Ktor and KotlinDL that recognizes cars and persons on photos. He has decided there is more that he would like to share with you on the subject, and so here is an extended article.

KotlinDL 0.3 is available now on Maven Central with a variety of new features! New models in ModelHub (including the first Object Detection and Face Alignment models), the ability to fine-tune the Image Recognition models saved in ONNX format from Keras and PyTorch, the experimental high-level Kotlin API for image recognition, a lot of new layers contributed by the community members and many other changes.
