Status:YOLO treats object detection as a single regression problem. It divides the image into an SxS grid.

You Only Look Once (YOLO)

Unlike older methods that scan an image multiple times at different scales, YOLO sees the whole image at once. It passes the image through a single neural network that outputs both bounding box locations and class labels. This makes YOLO the gold standard for real-time applications like self-driving cars and robotics.

Vision Glossary

Bounding Box
A rectangular box defined by coordinates (x, y, width, height) that tightly encloses a detected object.
mAP (Mean Average Precision)
The standard metric used to measure the accuracy of object detectors across different categories and IoU thresholds.
