Abstract

Mohammad Salman Khan and Ayesha Imran

Object detection is a basic task in computer vision with numerous applications ranging from surveillance and autonomous driv- ing to medical imaging and augmented reality. Recently, Machine and Deep learning approaches have significantly advanced the State-of-the-Art in object detection, enabling remarkable progress in accuracy, robustness, and efficiency. This paper pres- ents a detailed review of recent researches and developments in Computer Vision, Object Detection and Sensing Techniques. We discuss key concepts, methodologies, and challenges in object detection, focusing on deep learning-based approaches. Additionally, we explore emerging trends such as instance segmentation, few-shot learning, and privacy- preserving techniques in object detection. Furthermore, we discuss benchmark datasets, evaluation metrics, and open research challenges in the field. Keeping in view the current researches and Research Techniques, this research claims to guide researchers and enthusiasts towards understanding the latest advancements and future directions in this exciting area of computer vision. We discuss key topics such as image classification, object detection, image segmentation, and scene understanding. The rapid progress in deep learning has revolutionized computer vision, enabling models to learn hierarchical representations directly from data. We re- view prominent deep learning architectures such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and generative adversarial networks (GANs), and their applications in various computer vision tasks. Furthermore, we explore recent developments in multi-modal and cross-modal learning, domain adaptation, and interpretability in computer vision mod- els. Additionally, we discuss challenges such as data bias, ethical considerations, and scalability issues faced by the field. By providing a comprehensive overview, this paper aims to inspire further research and innovation in computer vision, advancing its capabilities and broadening its impact on society.
