Faster R-CNN
Faster R-CNN is an object-detection architecture that uses a learned region proposal network and detection heads to localize and classify objects in images.
Inside Deep Learning: Math, Algorithms, Models
An object detection architecture that combines a backbone, a region proposal network, and RoI pooling to localize and classify objects in images.
- How it is used
- Deploys a multi-stage object detector when bounding-box localization and object classification are required.
- How deep it goes
- Explains backbone, RPN, RoI pooling, data format, and training calls, but does not implement every internal detail from scratch.
- Examples
- Uses stop signs, synthetic MNIST scenes, PyTorch listings, prediction visualizations, and pretrained COCO images.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure Faster R-CNN in PyTorch, train it on variable-object detection data, and inspect predicted boxes, labels, and scores.

Math and Architectures of Deep Learning
An object-detection model that combines a region proposal network, RoI pooling, and classification/regression heads to detect and localize objects in images.
- How it is used
- Replaces selective search with learned proposals for efficient two-stage object detection.
- How deep it goes
- Traces architecture, anchors, RoI pooling, outputs, shared layers, and two training procedures, including approximate optimization.
- Examples
- Uses feature maps, sliding-window anchors, candidate RoIs, fixed-sized vectors, class scores, box coordinates, and duplicate suppression.
- What you can do after
- Build and train a two-stage detector with shared convolutional features using alternate or approximate joint optimization.
