Bounding Boxes and Beyond: Object Detection Insights
Unlocking the Secrets of Object Detection: A Dive into Anchor Boxes, Heatmaps, and Regression Object detection, the crucial task of identifying and locating objects within images or videos, powers a vast array of applications, from self-driving cars to facial recognition. While numerous algorithms tackle this challenge, one powerful approach stands out: anchor boxes combined with heatmap generation and regression. Let's break down how these components work together to achieve remarkable accuracy. Anchor Boxes: The Starting Point Imagine you have a detective who needs to find specific objects within a crime scene photo. To speed up the process, they might first place pre-defined "search areas" throughout the image – these are essentially our anchor boxes. These predefined rectangular boxes come in...
