Abstract
Object detection has become the cornerstone of various real-world applications, ranging from autonomous driving where it helps detect road objects to medical imaging for early disease prediction and gesture recognition systems. Due to their ability to operate continuously and cost-effectively, computer vision models are increasingly being employed in surveillance and monitoring tasks. Unlike humans, who can intuitively recognize and understand objects within images, machines require advanced algorithms to mimic such capabilities. A key challenge in computer vision lies in recognizing and tracking objects in real-time with accuracy and reliability. Human visual systems perform these tasks naturally and swiftly, enabling complex activities like driving. For computers to match such performance, efficient object detection models along with additional hardware such as sensors are essential. This study presents a comparative analysis of two popular deep learning-based object detection algorithms You Only Look Once (YOLO) and Faster Region-based Convolution Neural Network (Faster RCNN). Both models are evaluated based on their detection accuracy, speed, and performance in real-time scenarios. The paper aims to highlight the strengths and limitations of each model, offering insights into their suitability for different applications. The findings suggest that while both algorithms have their merits, the choice between them depends on the specific requirements of a task, such as the trade-off between detection speed and precision. Comparative study shows that Faster RCNN outperforms its accuracy compared with YOLO.
