Object detection is a crucial computer vision task that involves identifying and locating objects within an image or video. Unlike image classification, which only predicts the presence of an object, object detection also provides the spatial location of these objects. This is typically represented using bounding boxes around detected items.
주요 개념
Image Classification vs. Object Detection
- Image Classification: Determines if a particular object is present in the image.
- Object Detection: Identifies multiple objects in an image and provides their locations using bounding boxes.
바운딩 박스
A bounding box is a rectangle used to highlight the position of an object in an image. It is defined by its coordinates (x, y), width, and height.
Intersection Over Union (IoU)
IoU is a metric used to evaluate the accuracy of an object detector by comparing the overlap between the predicted bounding box and the ground truth.
평균 평균 정밀도(mAP)
mAP is a standard metric for measuring the accuracy of object detection models, taking into account IoU and precision-recall curves across multiple classes.
객체 감지 아키텍처
One-Stage vs. Two-Stage Detectors
- One-Stage Detectors (e.g., YOLO, SSD): Perform object localization and classification in a single step, offering faster inference speeds but sometimes at the cost of accuracy.
- Two-Stage Detectors (e.g., Faster R-CNN): Involve a region proposal stage followed by object classification, often achieving higher accuracy but with potentially slower inference times.
앵커 기반 감지기와 앵커 프리 감지기의 차이점
- Anchor-Based Detectors: Utilize predefined boxes (anchors) for object detection, improving localization accuracy.
- Anchor-Free Detectors: Predict object boundaries directly without predefined anchors, often resulting in simpler models and faster training times.
