Optimizing Object Detection with Anchor Box Strategies
The Unsung Heroes of Object Detection: A Deep Dive into Anchor Boxes and Their Impact Object detection, the ability for computers to identify and locate objects within images or videos, is a cornerstone of modern AI. From self-driving cars to medical imaging analysis, its applications are vast and constantly expanding. But have you ever wondered about the building blocks that make object detection possible? Enter anchor boxes, the unsung heroes often overlooked in discussions about this powerful technology. Anchor boxes are pre-defined bounding boxes of various sizes and aspect ratios, placed strategically across an image. They act as templates for potential objects, allowing the model to predict the location and size of an object by adjusting these anchor boxes. Think...
