Optimizing Object Detection with Anchor Boxes
Anchor Boxes: The Unsung Heroes of Object Detection Object detection, the task of identifying and locating objects within an image, is a cornerstone of computer vision. While deep learning models have revolutionized this field, one often-overlooked component plays a crucial role: anchor boxes. These predefined bounding boxes act as initial guesses for the location and size of objects in an image, guiding the object detection model towards accurate predictions. Understanding Anchor Boxes Imagine you're playing a game of "Where's Waldo?" with hundreds of potential hiding spots. Instead of searching blindly, having a few pre-defined areas to check first would make your task much easier. Anchor boxes serve a similar purpose in object detection. They are small bounding boxes, usually placed...
