Deep learning has revolutionized the realm of computer vision. Neural Networks are widely used in almost all of the cutting-edge tech such as Tesla’s auto-pilot feature. They perform too well that there are times they lead to ethical issues and conflicts. Well, we won’t be diving into those today. Let’s focus on a sub-category of computer vision called “Detection”.
What does one mean by detecting an object? When we see an object, we can exactly point where it is and determine what it is with ease. For computers though, the task is not so simple. This has been an active area of research for years and continues to be so today. In the past decade, with the advent of (rather the resurgence) of deep learning we were able to achieve good results to an extent that it has been possible to use it real-time scenarios.
