Object Detection

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

In-depth explanation

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.

Examples

YOLO detecting cars and pedestrians
