Object detection using YOLO

After a long unforeseen break, we are happy to announce a new meetup event, where Dr. Gregor Podrekar will talk about object detection using YOLO. This time, the meetup will take place in Sportradar’s offices in Ljubljana (3rd floor).

Recent years brought great advancements in the field of object detection in computer vision, where we witnessed a transition from two-stage object detector approaches towards one-stage, and recently transformer-based detectors. Although the transformer-based approaches are currently top-ranking on the leaderboards, the one-stage approaches that are relying solely on convolutional layers, are more mature and are still more often used in personal and professional computer vision projects. In this presentation we will briefly touch the object detection basics and take a closer look at YOLO (You Only Look Once, https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.02640), which is one of the most popular one-stage object detectors.

The meetup is sponsored by Sportradar. A short presentation of Sportradar will be given before the main talk. Free food and drinks will be provided as part of the talk.

Po daljšem nepredvidenem premoru z veseljem napovedujemo novi meetup dogodek, kjer bo dr. Gregor Podrekar govoril o detekciji objektov po postopku YOLO. Tokrat bo meetup potekal v prostorih podjetja Sportradar v Ljubljani (3. Nadstropje).

Pretekla leta so prinesla zelo velik napredek na področju detekcije objektov z uporabo računalniškega vida, kjer smo lahko zasledili postopen prehod od dvostopenjskih pristopov proti enostopenjskim ter nedavno proti pristopom z uporabo “transformer” arhitektur. Kljub temu, da pristopi, ki temeljijo na transformerjih trenutno prevladujejo na vrhu lestvic, eno-stopenjski pristopi, ki temeljijo na konvolucijskih slojih še vedno predstavljajo zrelejšo alternativo in so najpogosteje uporabljeni tako v osebnih kot tudi profesionalnih projektih računalniškega vida. V tokratni prezentaciji se bomo na kratko dotaknili osnov postopkov za detekcijo objektov ter si nekoliko podrobneje pogledali postopek YOLO (angl. “You Only Look Once”), ki sodi med najpopularnejše eno-stopenjske postopke za detekcijo objektov.

Tokratni meetup je podprt s strani podjetja Sportradar. Na začetku bo tudi na kratko predstavljeno s čim se v podjetju ukvarjajo. Za hrano in pijačo bo poskrbljeno.
