Multi-Scale Anchors: Powering Accurate Object Detection
Scaling Up Object Detection: The Power of Multi-Scale Anchor Boxes Object detection – the ability for computers to identify and locate specific objects within images or videos – is a cornerstone of modern computer vision. While traditional methods often struggled with varying object sizes and complex scenes, the introduction of anchor boxes revolutionized the field. Anchor boxes act as pre-defined templates of different sizes and aspect ratios, helping the model predict the location and class of objects within an image. But what happens when objects come in a wide range of scales? This is where multi-scale anchor box design steps in, significantly boosting detection accuracy and robustness. The Challenge of Scale Variance Imagine trying to detect tiny insects alongside towering...
