Here’s how deep learning helps computers detect objects

Deep neural networks have gained fame for their capability to process visual information. And in the past few years, they have become a key component of many computer vision applications. Among the key problems neural networks can solve is detecting and localizing objects in images. Object detection is used in many different domains, including autonomous driving, video surveillance, and healthcare. In this post, I will briefly review the deep learning architectures that help computers detect objects. Convolutional neural networks One of the key components of most deep learning–based computer vision applications is the convolutional neural network (CNN). Invented in the 1980s by deep learning pioneer Yann LeCun,…
