From Image Classification to 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.

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.
