One-stage methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These are a class of algorithms that predict object locations and classes in a single pass through the network without a separate region step. It makes the object detection process faster and more efficient than two-stage methods. Some of the one-stage methods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Inference speed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- YOLO<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- SSD<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- RetinaNet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Two-stage methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Two-stage methods are the algorithms that approach object detection as a two-step process. The first step is to generate region proposals, which will contain the areas that are likely to contain the objects. The second step is to classify each proposed region and refine its bounding box. Some of the two-stage methods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Detection accuracy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Faster R-CNN<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mask R-CNN<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cascade R-CNN<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Object Detection Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In this section, let\u2019s look at some of the real-time object detection examples. The best object detection algorithm needs to detect objects with higher accuracy and detect the required objects from a crowd of other objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example 1: Detecting a Single Object<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To identify the object, the user needs to show the object in front of the camera to detect the existence of the object. In the example below, we have provided only one object. The algorithm successfully identifies the object as a cell phone with an accuracy of 99 percent, which is almost 100% accurate. This type of algorithm detects the target object by ignoring other objects in the image or camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example 2: Detecting Multiple Objects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In the example below, the user displayed one or more objects in the camera. The algorithm successfully detected both the objects, one is a scissor with 91% accuracy and the other is a knife with 77% accuracy. The accuracy of detecting the object can be due to poor image\/video quality or other factors from the algorithm side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Object Detection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Object detection can be categorized into different types based on the dimensionality of detection and the target objects. There are three main types of object detection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2D Detectors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

3D Detectors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
