Object Detection

Object detection is a computer-vision task that identifies objects in an image and indicates where each object is located, commonly with a box or other boundary.

Also known as: Visual object detection; component detection

Why it matters in collision repair

Vehicle-inspection systems may use object detection to find specific components before evaluating whether those components show visible damage.

Collision-industry example

The system locates the front bumper, grille, hood, and headlamps in a photograph and marks each component for further analysis.
