Exploring Bounding Boxes and Different Annotation Formats in Object Detection

Bounding boxes play a critical role in the object detection process, a fundamental task in computer vision. Object detection entails the identification and precise localization of objects within an image. These bounding boxes serve to define the position of an object within the image, allowing for the creation of a Continue Reading

MODNet: Real-Time Trimap-Free Portrait Matting via Objective Decomposition

In this work, we present a lightweight matting objective decomposition network (MODNet) for portrait matting in real-time with a single input image. MODNet inputs a single RGB image and applies explicit constraints to solve matting sub-objectives simultaneously in one stage. The research paper is accepted at AAAI 2022 conference. Research Continue Reading

VGG19 UNET Implementation in TensorFlow

In this tutorial, we are going to implement the U-Net architecture in TensorFlow, where we will replace its encoder with a pre-trained VGG19 architecture. The VGG19 is already trained on the ImageNet classification dataset. Therefore, it would have already learned the required features, which would help to boost the overall Continue Reading
