A Simple Guide to YOLO and SSD

We took a look at the three types of region-based CNN (R-CNN) in the last article and we now know how they operate together with their downsides. With that in mind, let's explore two other object detection algorithms that are far more superior than region-based networks, so much so that they are widely used in real-time detection tasks. In case you forgot what the downside of Faster R-CNN is, it is a relatively slow detector which is unable to match the requirements of real-time detection. It does, however, have a small accuracy advantage if real-time detection is not required. Check out this article to compare the mAP and inference speed of all the detectors mentioned in this article.
