Object Detection

Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML

Object detection is a computer vision task that involves identifying and localizing objects within an image or video by drawing bounding boxes around them and classifying what they are. It is used by machine learning engineers and researchers in applications like autonomous vehicles, security surveillance, retail analytics, and medical imaging. Common algorithms include YOLO, Faster R-CNN, and SSD.
