Object Detection

• Mask R-CNN (pdf, arxiv, github) by Facebook AI Research!
  • Summary goes here...
• Tensorflow object detection API: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/object_detection. Only the two SSD nets can run at 12.5 FPS on one GTX 1080 TI (less accurate than YOLO 604x604). Next two models at 4-5 FPS (4-5% mAP better than YOLO). Best model < 1 FPS. Currently code only allow inference of 1 image at a time. Speed might improve by 2.5 times when they allow multiple image inference.
