Study of Object Detection with Faster RCNN

Abstract

Numerous studies in the field of object detection have been conducted over the past few decades. Several effective methods have been developed. Among various object detection algorithms, Faster RCNN offers excellent results in both detection speed and accuracy. It is a combination of Fast RCNN and RPN layers. This paper conducts a comparative study of object detection using Faster RCNN. The study shows that use of smaller convolutional network called Region Proposal Network improves performance of the system. It shows that object detection using Faster RCNN can give high accuracy and faster performance as compared to other methods and algorithms. It takes only 0.2 seconds to predict a single image. Also, it gives 70% Mean Accuracy Precision (mAP) on the PASCAL VOC 2007 and PASCAL VOC 2012 datasets.
