Task
Definition

A computer vision task that identifies and localizes objects within an image using bounding boxes.

Object detection combines classification and localization. Popular architectures include YOLO (real-time), Faster R-CNN (accurate), and DETR (transformer-based).

Examples

1

YOLO for real-time detection

2

Faster R-CNN for high accuracy

3

Pedestrian detection in autonomous driving
