object

Definition

A bounded thing in an image or video — the unit that detection, tracking and segmentation are organised around. Object detection means predicting both where (a box) and what (a class) for each instance, which is what separates it from whole-image classification and from pixel-level scene parsing. Not to be confused with the programming sense of object, which shares only the word.
