AI GlossaryObject Detection

[Computer Vision]

Object Detection.

Identifying and localizing objects within an image by drawing bounding boxes around them.

In-depth explanation

01

Object detection combines classification (what) with localization (where). Two-stage detectors (R-CNN family) first propose regions then classify; one-stage detectors (YOLO, SSD) predict boxes and classes simultaneously for faster inference. Metrics include mAP (mean Average Precision). Applications include autonomous driving, security, and retail.
