Image classification and object detection have gained widespread use in recent years. Content categorization and monitoring, disease diagnosis from medical images, identifying terrain in satellite images, and detecting road elements for self-driving cars are classification problems at their core. PyTorch is a popular framework for these tasks—offering a useful mix of user-friendliness, deep learning functionalities, customization, and optimization.

In this course, you will cover the fundamentals of classification and object detection models and apply them to actual datasets using PyTorch. You’ll learn popular architectures and how to implement and fine-tune them for better results. Finally, you’ll learn to convert models to ONNX and OpenVINO to deploy in edge devices.

By the end of this course, you will have acquired the necessary skills to be able to use PyTorch for image identification and object detection in real-world applications

Using PyTorch for Image Classification and Object Detection

# Image classification vs. object detection

While the image classification problem focuses on classifying the images, in object detection, there might be more than one object we're searching for. Our task is to find all of them placed in the most appropriate boxes with their belonging classes. Therefore, our goal is relatively more complex than image classification. We have to first detect the objects by locating them with bounding boxes, then classify them to decide which class this box (thing) belongs to.
