Object Detection Technologies and Resources

1 Programming Languages
• Python: Most commonly used for object detection due to its extensive
libraries and frameworks. Free

2 Frameworks & Libraries


Free Options:
• TensorFlow/Keras: Open-source library for deep learning with pre-built
object detection models (e.g., TensorFlow Object Detection API).
• PyTorch: Offers frameworks like Detectron2 and TorchVision with pre-
trained models.
• OpenCV: Useful for basic object detection and image processing tasks.
• Ultralytics YOLOv8: State-of-the-art YOLO models (You Only Look
Once).

• Hugging Face: Model hub with pre-trained object detection models.

Paid Options:
• MATLAB: Powerful tools for computer vision but requires a license.

• Google Cloud AI, AWS SageMaker, Azure Machine Learning: Paid cloud
services with integrated ML tools.

3 Datasets
Free Datasets:
• COCO (Common Objects in Context): Widely used dataset for object
detection.
• Pascal VOC: A benchmark dataset for image classification and object
detection.

• Kaggle Datasets: Large variety of datasets available for free.
• Open Images Dataset: A large-scale dataset for object detection.

Paid Datasets:
• Custom datasets from platforms like Scale AI, Appen, or Figure Eight for
specific use cases.

4 Tools for Data Annotation


Free Tools:
• LabelImg: GUI for annotating images.
• CVAT (Computer Vision Annotation Tool): Browser-based annotation
tool.

• Roboflow (Free Plan): For annotating, versioning, and managing datasets.

Paid Tools:
• SuperAnnotate: Advanced annotation platform with collaboration fea-
tures.

• Labelbox: Annotation and dataset management platform.

5 Pre-trained Models
Free Models:

• SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector) and Faster R-CNN models via Ten-
sorFlow or PyTorch.

Paid Models:
