Vehicle Detection Using OpenCV and Deep Learning

Object detection is one of the important applications of computer vision used in self-driving cars. Object detection in images means not only identifying the kind of object but also localizing it within the image by generating the coordinates of a bounding box that contains the object. We can summarize object detection as follows:

An example of object detection can be seen in the following image:

Here, you can see that the biker is detected as a person and that the ...
