Creating a custom object detector was a challenge, but not now. There are many approaches for handling object detection. Of all, Haarcascades and HOG+SVM are very popular and best known for their performance. Though Haarcascades which were introduced by Viola and Jones are good in achieving decent accuracy, HOG+SVM proved to outperform the Haarcascades implementation. Here in this post we are going to build a object detector using HOG+SVM model. The output from our detector is something similar as shown below.

Intro to Neural nets
I know that there are plenty of Machine learning algorithms out there for prediction and classification tasks, but why then we need Neural networks even? Continue reading
