Single Shot Detectors and You Only Look Once |
- 💥 The approach involves a single neural network trained end to end
- It takes an image as input and predicts bounding boxes and class labels for each bounding box directly.
- 😕 The technique offers lower predictive accuracy (e.g. more localization errors) Compared with region based models
- ➗ YOLO divides the input image into an S×S grid. Each grid cell predicts only one object
👷♀️ Long Story Short: The system divides the input image into an S × S grid. If the center of an object falls into a grid cell, that grid cell is responsible for detecting that object.
- 🚀 Speed
- 🤸♀️ Feasible for real time applications
- 😕 Poor performance on small-sized objects
- It tends to give imprecise object locations.
TODO: Compare versions of YOLO
- 💥 Predicts objects in images using a single deep neural network.
- 🤓 The network generates scores for the presence of each object category using small convolutional filters applied to feature maps.
- ✌ This approach uses a feed-forward CNN that produces a collection of bounding boxes and scores for the presence of certain objects.
- ❗ In this model, each feature map cell is linked to a set of default bounding boxes
- 🖼️ After going through a certain of convolutions for feature extraction, we obtain a feature layer of size m×n (number of locations) with p channels, such as 8×8 or 4×4 above.
- And a 3×3 conv is applied on this m×n×p feature layer.
- 📍 For each location, we got k bounding boxes. These k bounding boxes have different sizes and aspect ratios.
- The concept is, maybe a vertical rectangle is more fit for human, and a horizontal rectangle is more fit for car.
- 💫 For each of the bounding boxes, we will compute
cclass scores and 4 offsets relative to the original default bounding box shape.
The SSD object detection algorithm is composed of 2 parts:
- Extract feature maps
- Apply convolution filters to detect objects.
- Better accuracy compared to YOLO
- Better speed compared to Region based algorithms
