This document summarizes recent advances in real-time object detection using deep learning. It first provides an overview of object detection and deep learning. It then reviews popular object detection models including CNNs, R-CNNs, Fast R-CNN, Faster R-CNN, YOLO, and SSD. The document proposes modifications to existing models to improve small object detection accuracy. Specifically, it proposes using Darknet-53 with feature map upsampling and concatenation at multiple scales to detect objects of different sizes. It also describes using k-means clustering to select anchor boxes tailored to each detection scale.
