Object Detection Using CNTK - Real Life Code

We recently collaborated with InSoundz, an audio-tracking startup, to build an object detection system using Microsoft's open source deep learning framework, Computational Network Toolkit (CNTK). InSoundz captures and models 3D audio of live sports events to enhance live video feeds of these events for fans. In order to enable automatic discovery of interesting scenarios that would be relevant to their solution, InSoundz wanted to integrate object detection capabilities into their system. Any solution needed to be as flexible as possible, and also had to support adding new object types and creating detectors for various data types with ease. Since the object detection component evaluates images from a live camera feed, the detection also had to be fast, with near real-time performance. Often when people talk about "object detection," they actually mean a combination of object detection (e.g.
