Abstract
This study presents a novel hybrid implementation of an object detection system based on the YoloV4 and Cascade RCNN models. The research aims to understand the performance dynamics of these models in terms of precision, recall, Average Precision (AP), and mean Average Precision (mAP). During the comparison test, the YoloV4 model did pretty well, showing that it could handle high recall situations but had trouble keeping its precision steady. Its AP and mAP were both 0.16. It was easier for the Cascade RCNN Standalone model to keep its precision across a wider range of thresholds, as shown by its AP and mAP scores of 0.625. It was the YoloV4-Cascade RCNN hybrid model that did the best, with the highest scores (AP and mAP of 0.79) and a great balance between accuracy and recall. Combining different object detection methods to improve overall detection accuracy works, as shown by this hybrid model’s excellent performance. Understanding the study’s results is important for making progress in real-world applications like self-driving cars.
