Unlocking Object Detection with Anchor Ratios
Why Object Detection Needs Anchor Boxes and Why Their Ratios Matter Object detection is like playing detective with images: you need to identify the objects within them and pinpoint their locations. One crucial tool in this digital sleuthing is anchor boxes, a concept that underpins many modern object detection algorithms. But did you know that the ratios of these anchor boxes can significantly impact your model's performance? Let's dive into the world of anchor boxes and explore why diversity in their ratios is key to successful object detection. What are Anchor Boxes, Anyway? Imagine you're looking for hidden treasures in a vast image landscape. Instead of blindly scanning every pixel, you might place pre-defined "search boxes" – your anchor boxes...
