Object detection has been a hot topic ever since the boom of Deep Learning techniques. This article goes over the most recent state of the art object detectors.

First we will start with an introduction to the topic of object detection itself and it’s key metrics.

The evolution of object detectors began with Viola Jones detector which was used for detection in real-time. Traditionally, object detection algorithms used hand-crafted features to capture relevant information from images and a structured classifier to deal with spatial structures. Read More
