Region-Based CNN

Encord Computer Vision Glossary

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) of the type known as region-based convolutional neural networks (R-CNNs) are employed for object detection tasks. They can precisely identify and categorize objects in photos or videos because they are an extension of the normal CNN architecture.

A region proposal network (RPN), a feature extractor, and a classifier make up the three primary parts of an R-CNN. The RPN is in charge of producing a list of potential object-containing regions or bounding boxes. The classifier must categorize the objects in the candidate regions, while the feature extractor must extract features from the candidate regions.

R-CNNs can accurately detect and categorize items in photos and videos and can handle a large variety of object classes. Additionally, they can deal with occlusions, variations in lighting and background, as well as a variety of scales and aspect ratios.

R-CNNs are generally a strong and efficient tool for object recognition tasks, and they are frequently employed in a number of applications, such as image and video analysis, object tracking, and augmented reality. They can recognize and categorize items in pictures and videos with great accuracy, and they can work with a variety of object classifications and scales.
