Object Detection

A computer vision task that goes beyond identifying what is in an image by precisely locating multiple distinct objects using explicit bounding boxes.

Think of It Like This

Like drawing a precise red rectangle around every single car, pedestrian, and traffic light you spot in a photograph.

Modern object detection relies on advanced neural architectures to classify objects and regress the coordinates of their bounding boxes simultaneously. It is a core technology for autonomous driving, security surveillance, and medical image analysis. Popular architectures include Faster R-CNN, SSD, and YOLO (You Only Look Once).
