Abstract

Object detection technology has a wide range of practical applications, and it is a very challenging field. Countless researchers have developed many important ideas in this area. This article reviews the important milestones of object detection in the first part. In the second and third parts, the first-order detection, such as the YOLO series, and the second-order detection, including RCNN and pyramid structure, are comprehensively analyzed. This paper describes the development process of these algorithms in detail and systematically analyzes the network structure, training effect, loss function, advantages, and disadvantages, among other factors.
