Deep Learning For Object Detection: A Survey

Object detection is one of the most important and challenging branches of computer vision, which has been widely applied in people s life, such as monitoring security, autonomous driving and so on, with the purpose of locating instances of semantic objects of a certain class. With the rapid development of deep learning algorithms for detection tasks, the performance of object detectors has been greatly improved. In order to understand the main development status of target detection, a comprehensive literature review of target detection and an overall discussion of the works closely related to it are presented in this paper. This paper various object detection methods, including one-stage and two-stage detectors, are systematically summarized, and the datasets and evaluation criteria used in object detection are introduced. In addition, the development of object detection technology is reviewed. Finally, based on the understanding of the current development of target detection, we discuss the main research directions in the future.
