GENERAL

In this training course, you will learn how to train an artificial intelligence model to detect objects of your choice within your images. Object detection is a technology within the field of Computer Vision that enables computer systems to identify and locate specific elements within images. Unlike simpler image classification tasks, which assign a single label to an entire image, object detection offers a granular understanding by simultaneously predicting an object's class (e.g., "person," "car," "dog") and its spatial location within the image.

To go through this course, you will need a computer and an internet connexion.

It is important to note that training an artificial intelligence model is energy-intensive. Numerous pre-trained models for object detection already exist, such as those available on the Ultralytics platform or the Hugging Face platform, where models can be retrieved free of charge as they are open source. However, in specific contexts where existing solutions are insufficient, the development and training of a custom model remain necessary.
