Deep learning has revolutionised object detection by automating the localisation and classification of items within images. Contemporary systems employ convolutional neural network (CNN) backbones to ...

Deep learning has revolutionised object detection by enabling end-to-end trainable systems that learn both feature representation and localisation. Early two-stage detectors extracted region proposals ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...
