Anchor Boxes: Unveiling IoU Insights in Detection
Understanding Object Detection with Anchor Boxes: A Deep Dive into IoU Distributions Object detection, the ability of a system to identify and locate objects within an image, is a cornerstone of computer vision. While various techniques exist, anchor boxes have emerged as a popular approach for achieving accurate and efficient object detection. But what are anchor boxes, and how do they work? Essentially, anchor boxes are pre-defined bounding boxes with varying sizes and aspect ratios that act as templates for potential objects within an image. The detector learns to adjust these anchor boxes by predicting their offsets (location) and confidence scores (probability of containing an object). One crucial metric used to evaluate the performance of an object detection model is...
