What is object detection?
- [Instructor] Welcome to this video on object detection. Object detection is a crucial technique in computer vision that not only identifies objects and images and videos, but also locates them with bounding boxes. It's used in many applications from self-driving cars, to medical image analysis used in the healthcare industry. So what exactly is object detection? Object detection is the process of identifying and localizing objects within an image. It goes beyond simple classification by predicting the position of each detected object using bounding boxes. This allows us to not only know what's present in an image, but also where it is located. For example, in a self-driving car, object detection helps identify pedestrians, other nearby vehicles and road signs, to ensure safe driving and human protection. Object detection works in two main steps: classification and localization. First, the model classifies what objects are present in image, such as a person or a dog. Then it locates…
