Study Notes

Computer Vision Tasks

Image Classification: Assign a single label (class) to an entire image.
Object Detection: Identify instances of objects along with their locations using bounding boxes (coordinates x, y, width, height).
Semantic Segmentation: Classify each pixel in an image, providing a detailed label for every pixel.
Instance Segmentation: Similar to semantic segmentation, but distinguishes between separate instances of the same class.

Object Detection Overview

Combines classification (identifying "what") with localization (identifying "where").
Utilizes fully-connected layers in CNNs to map features to class labels and bounding box coordinates.

Intersection over Union (IoU)

A metric used to evaluate the overlap between predicted and actual bounding boxes.
Optimizing IoU is crucial for improving detection accuracy.

Object Detection Datasets

PASCAL VOC Challenge: A benchmark for recognizing objects from various classes in realistic scenes.

Proposal-Based Algorithms

R-CNN: Introduces a region proposal network to enhance detection speed.
Fast R-CNN: Improves R-CNN by using a single CNN to extract features from the entire image instead of from individual proposals.
Faster R-CNN: Further improves speed and accuracy with a region proposal network integrated into the architecture.

Proposal-Free Algorithms

Single Shot Detector (SSD): Allows for object detection in a single forward pass through the network, utilizing multiple default boxes at different scales.
You Only Look Once (YOLO): Treats object detection as a regression problem, predicting bounding boxes and class probabilities in one evaluation of the entire image.
RetinaNet: Addresses class imbalance through a focal loss function, optimizing training for dense object detection.

Online Hard Example Mining (OHEM)

A technique to enhance model training by focusing on hard examples rather than simply balancing easy vs. hard examples.
Adjusts sampling based on current losses, ensuring an effective mix of positive and negative samples.

Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS)

A post-processing step to refine object detection by eliminating redundant bounding boxes after evaluating proposals based on IoU thresholds.

YOLO Methodology

Divides images into a grid, predicts bounding boxes and probabilities using a single neural network.
Recognized for exceptional speed; significantly faster than earlier models like R-CNN.

SSD Key Findings

Emphasizes the importance of data augmentation and using multiple box shapes to improve detection across varied scales and aspect ratios.

RetinaNet Architecture

Combines a bottom-up pathway for feature extraction and a top-down pathway for object classification and bounding box regression, enhancing performance across various scales.

Future of Object Detection

Continues to evolve with advances in deep learning technology, promising improved accuracy and real-time detection applications.
