Object Detection in 20 Years: A Survey

Object detection, as of one the most fundamental and challenging problems in computer vision, has received great attention recent years. Over past two decades, we have seen a rapid technological evolution object detection its profound impact on entire vision field. If consider today’s technique revolution driven by deep learning, then, back 1990s, would see ingenious thinking long-term perspective design early vision. This article extensively reviews this fast-moving research field light technical evolution, spanning over quarter-century’s time (from 1990s to 2022). A number topics been covered article, including milestone detectors history, datasets, metrics, building blocks system, speedup techniques, state-of-the-art methods.
