Faster R-CNN

Faster R-CNN is a two-stage deep convolutional object detection framework introduced by Shaoqing Ren, Kaiming He, Ross Girshick, and Jian Sun (Microsoft Research) at NeurIPS 2015. It replaces the slow selective-search region proposal step used in its predecessors R-CNN and Fast R-CNN with a learned Region Proposal Network (RPN) that shares convolutional features with the detection head, enabling the first end-to-end trainable, near-real-time accurate object detector and establishing a long-standing accuracy benchmark on PASCAL VOC and MS COCO.
