Exploring Deep Learning based Object Detection Architectures: A Review

As one of the hottest fields of computer vision, object detection is employed in many useful applications, including face recognition, autonomous cars and human behaviour analysis. CNN's have played a vital role in the progression of computer vision, especially object detection. In this paper, a review is provided on object detection methods which utilize deep learning to render outstanding results, and different object detection frameworks are discussed and analyzed with respect to their differences amongst each other. The comparisons are carried out based upon the criterion of accuracy and frames per second. The review starts with the explanation of CNNs and their advantages. Then we focus our attention on two types of object detection architectures and dive deep into their respective details. In the end, we draw a conclusion based on the facts detailed in the review.
