R-CNN — Region-based Convolutional Neural Network

Fact

An object detector: it picks regions first, then a CNN names them.

In Plain Words

R-CNN is like a security guard with a pause button. It circles weird shapes, then zooms in for a closer look.

It finds objects in pictures. It helped launch deep learning detection, but it was slow.
