Object Detection with SSD and MobileNet

1. Introduction

Object detection is one of the most prominent fields of research in computer vision today. It is an extension of image classification, where the goal is to identify one or more classes of objects in an image and localize their presence with the help of bounding boxes as can be seen in figure 1. Hence, object detection plays a vital role in many real-world applications such as image retrieval and video surveillance, to simply name a few. With this in mind, the main aim of our project is to investigate the inner workings of the “Single…
