Understanding Image Recognition and Object Detection

Image
 Image recognition and object detection are similar techniques and are often used together. Image recognition identifies which object or scene is in an image; object detection finds instances and locations of those objects in images.  Common object detection techniques are Faster R-CNN and YOLOv3. Why Image Recognition Matters ?       Image recognition can speed up tedious tasks and process images faster or more accurately than manual image inspection. Image recognition is a crucial technique in many applications, and is the main driver in deep learning applications like: Visual Inspection: Identifying parts as defective or non-defective in manufacturing can quickly inspect thousands of parts on an assembly line. Image Classification: Categorizing images based on the image content. This is especially useful in applications such as image retrieval and recommender systems in e-commerce. Automated Driving: The ability to recognize a stop sign or a pedestrian in an ...
