YOLOv4 - Superior, Faster & More Accurate Object Detection

Image
YOLOv4 results on MS COCO Object detection [1] Introduction So guess what, YOLOv4 has just been released a few days ago, and I must say I am really really excited by this release. Why? Well Yolo version 3 was quite popular, robust and quick, and now YOLOv4 in comparison I feel is a significant upgrade in terms of speed and performance. So, this article I am going to dissect the paper YOLOv4: Optimal Speed and Accuracy of Object Detection by Alexey Bochkovsky, Chien Yao and Hon-Yuan [1]. Wait – hold, what happened to the original creators of Yolo v1-3 Joseph Redmon and Ali Farhadi – Well Joseph or Joe tweeted in Feb 2020 that he will stop Computer vision research because of how the technology was being used for military applications and that the privacy concerns were have a societal impact. Ali Farhadi went on to found a company called xnor.ai which specialized in on edge-centric AI. According to Forbes [2], They have since been acquired by Apple, surprise surprise :P. Okay so back ...

How AI & Datascience Can Combat the Corona Virus

Image
Overview The Corona Virus of 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) which is continuously threatening the lives of people across the globe. It originates from a virus family associated with SARS (virus outbreak in 2003) and the common cold. Originating from Mainland China, the spread is now across 56 plus countries with nearly 90,000 infected people in total. Clearly, the problem and its consequences need a quick preventive solution. The Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization has come up with AI analytics and big data in finding a solution to this problem. AI and Analytics to the Rescue Surveillance System - For places like railway station where thousands of people pass by daily, it becomes important to have a track of infected people in order to stop the spread. An infrared thermometer is used to check the temperature of a person to diagnose for potential infections. A surveillance solution to this is a scr...
