Object Detection
What is Object Detection?
Object detection is a pivotal component in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in computer vision. It involves identifying and locating objects within an image or video frame. This technology leverages machine learning algorithms and deep learning techniques to recognize objects of interest, classify them, and determine their precise locations. Object detection has a myriad of applications in various industries such as autonomous driving, where it helps cars recognize pedestrians, traffic signs, and other vehicles. In retail, it can be used for inventory management by identifying and counting products on shelves. Object detection not only enhances automation but also significantly improves accuracy and efficiency in tasks that traditionally required human intervention. The technology continues to evolve, making advancements in speed and accuracy, thus broadening its potential use cases and impact.
