Evolution of Object Detection and Localization Algorithms

Understanding recent evolution of object detection and localization with intuitive explanation of underlying concepts. Object detection is one of the areas of computed vision that is maturing very rapidly. Every year, new algorithms/ models keep on outperforming the previous ones. In-fact, one of the latest state of the art software system for object detection was just released last week by Facebook AI team. The software is called Detectron that incorporates numerous research projects for object detection and is powered by the Caffe2 deep learning framework.
