Recently, object detection has continued to evolve from its current state, and due to its technology, it can be found across almost every technological platform. Whether it is through image classification, recognition, or localization, these are all based on object detection.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can bring together many object recognition and classification techniques together by incorporating deep learning and computer vision methods. In computer vision, convolutional neural networks, as the name suggests, apply a convolution layer in each pixel image in a dataset.

Due to computer vision and deep learning fundamentals in its primary structure, CNNs obtain a different output layer…
