Object Detection for Dummies Part 1: Overview

The article introduces a beginner-friendly series on object detection, focusing on fundamental image processing techniques before delving into deep learning. It aims to demystify the concepts behind object recognition, particularly in the context of autonomous vehicles. The scope is clearly defined, promising a gradual progression from basic concepts to more advanced topics in subsequent parts.

• •The article series is designed for beginners with no prior experience in computer vision.
• •Part 1 covers basic image processing and segmentation techniques.
• •Deep learning models will be discussed in Part 2 and Part 3.
• •The motivation stems from understanding object detection in autonomous vehicles.
