Object Detection: Anchor Boxes and RPN in Action
Unveiling the Secrets of Object Detection: Anchor Boxes and Selective Search RPNs Object detection, a cornerstone of computer vision, empowers machines to identify and locate specific objects within images. Imagine a self-driving car identifying pedestrians, or a medical imaging system pinpointing tumors – these are just a few examples where object detection shines. One powerful technique that has revolutionized this field is the Region Proposal Network (RPN) coupled with anchor boxes. Let's dive into the mechanics of this ingenious combination and understand how it empowers our machines to "see" the world more effectively. Anchor Boxes: A Grid of Potential Objects Think of an image as a canvas waiting for objects to be painted onto it. Anchor boxes act like pre-defined...
