Bounding Box Predictions: Sizing Objects with Anchor Boxes
Predicting Object Sizes with Anchor Boxes: A Deep Dive into Object Detection Object detection, the ability for machines to identify and locate objects within images or videos, is a cornerstone of computer vision. While algorithms have made impressive strides, accurately estimating the size of detected objects remains a challenge. Today, we'll explore how anchor boxes, a clever technique in object detection, can help us predict these elusive dimensions from simple center points. Understanding the Challenge: Imagine training a model to detect cars in images. You want it not only to pinpoint where a car is but also to understand its size. This information is crucial for various applications, like autonomous driving (estimating distance) or image search (filtering by car size)....
