Y. Patil Institute of Technology, Pimpri, Pune, Maharashtra, India Abstract: Object detection presents itself as a pivotal and complex challenge within the domain of computer vision. Over the past ten years, as deep learning techniques have advanced quickly, researchers have committed significant resources to utilising deep models as the basis to improve the performance of object identification systems and related tasks like segmentation, localization. Two- stage and single-stage detectors are the two basic categories into which object detectors can be roughly divided. Typically, two-stage detectors use complicated structures in conjunction with a selective region proposal technique to accomplish their goals. Conversely, single-stage detectors aim to detect objects across all spatial regions in one shot, employing relatively simpler architectures. Any object detector's inference time and detection accuracy are the main factors to consider while evaluating it. Single-stage detectors offer quicker inference times, but two-stage detectors frequently show better detection accuracy. But since the introduction of YOLO (You Only Look Once) and its architectural offspring, detection accuracy has significantly improved—sometimes even outperforming that of two-stage detectors. The adoption of YOLO in various applications is primarily driven by its faster inference times rather than its detection accuracy alone.

INTRODUCTION A fundamental component of computer vision, object detection propels advances by leveraging diverse Deep learning (DL) and Machine learning (ML) models. Two-stage object detectors have always been popular and effective in the field of object detection. But single-stage object identification methods and underlying algorithms have advanced recently, outperforming many conventional two-stage detectors in terms of performance. The introduction of YOLO (You Only Look Once) models has further revolutionized the landscape, with applications across various contexts showcasing remarkable performance compared to their two-stage counterparts. This has inspired the focus of this review, aiming to delve into the intricacies of YOLO and its architectural successors. Through a detailed exploration of their design nuances, optimizations, competitive edge over two-stage detectors, and other pertinent aspects, the goal of this paper is to offer a thorough grasp of the developing field of object detection. This section provides a brief introduction to computer vision and deep learning technology, explaining important terms, difficulties, phases, and their importance in applying object identification methods. It also discusses widely used datasets, the evolutionary history of different object identification algorithms, and the main goals and to help this review. 1.1 Motivation There are several strong reasons to start a YOLOv3 object detection project.
