Evaluating Object Detection with Anchor Boxes
Unveiling the Power of Anchor Boxes: A Dive into Object Detection Evaluation Object detection, the ability of a system to pinpoint and classify objects within an image or video, is a cornerstone of computer vision. While numerous techniques exist, anchor boxes have emerged as a powerful tool, revolutionizing the way we evaluate and improve object detection models. But what exactly are these anchor boxes, and how do we measure their effectiveness? Understanding Anchor Boxes: A Foundation for Detection Imagine an image riddled with potential objects – cars, pedestrians, bicycles, and more. Anchor boxes provide a set of pre-defined bounding boxes of various sizes and aspect ratios scattered across the image. These "anchors" act as starting points for our detection model,...
