Litrature review:
This literature review provides an overview of the advancements and key research works in the
field of object detection, highlighting the evolution of techniques and principles that have
shaped the current state of the art.
A notable contribution in object detection is the R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural
Network) framework introduced by Girshick et al. (2014). It introduced the concept of using
selective search for region proposals and a CNN for object classification, laying the foundation
for subsequent deep learning-based methodologies. Although it achieved improved accuracy, its
inference speed was slow due to sequential processing of region proposals.
To address the speed limitations, alternative approaches were proposed for object detection in
a single forward pass of a neural network. The You Only Look Once (YOLO) framework
introduced by Redmon et al. (2016) revolutionized the field by simultaneously predicting object
bounding boxes and class probabilities, achieving real-time detection with impressive speed and
competitive accuracy.
The Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) proposed by Liu et al. (2016) employed convolutional
layers with different scales to predict object locations and class labels at multiple resolutions.
This approach struck a good balance between accuracy and speed, making it suitable for real-
time applications. SSD also introduced the concept of anchor boxes for handling object scale
and aspect ratio variations.
To improve accuracy, the RetinaNet framework proposed by Lin et al. (2017) introduced a focal
loss that effectively handled class imbalance during training, achieving state-of-the-art
performance in object detection tasks. EfficientDet, introduced by Tan et al. (2020), leveraged
efficient model architectures based on the EfficientNet backbone. Through compound scaling,
EfficientDet achieved remarkable accuracy while maintaining efficient inference times,
showcasing the importance of efficient model design for real-world applications.
Researchers have also explored extensions and improvements to object detection
methodologies, including feature pyramid networks (FPN) for multi-scale features, deformable
convolutional networks for better modeling of object deformations, and attention mechanisms
for capturing contextual information.
Overall, this literature review highlights significant progress in deep learning-based object
detection research. Frameworks like R-CNN, YOLO, SSD, RetinaNet, and EfficientDet have pushed
the boundaries in terms of accuracy, speed, and efficiency. These advancements have paved the
way for real-world applications in autonomous driving, surveillance systems, robotics, and
more. However, challenges such as occlusions, crowded scenes, and small object detection
persist, providing opportunities for further research and development in the field.
