Object Detection

Basics

• The usage of Machine Vision to recognise objects
• Typically uses standard cameras, but some systems use other methods in conjunction such as laser dot grids (like the xbox kinect etc)

Tensorflow - OSS by Google

• An open source object detection and recognition/naming software
• Has two versions, the more intense Tensorflow , for pc's and render farms, and Tensorflow Lite
