Several objects detectors were developed by many researchers, but there is a need to have lightweight models so that they can fit smartphones and other edge devices. In this study, the aim is to prove the concept of using a mobile application for smart tourism. The mobile application which has EfficientDet-d2 as a backbone will detect several statues belonging to the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts and provide relevant information about each statue.
