Open Source Object Detection Models

Dlib is a C++ toolkit containing machine learning algorithms and tools for creating complex software in C++ to solve real world problems.

ImageAI is an easy-to-use Computer Vision Python library that empowers developers to easily integrate state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence features into their new and existing applications and systems. It is used by thousands of developers, students, researchers, tutors and experts in corporate organizations around the world. You will find features supported, links to official documentation as well as articles on ImageAI. ImageAI is widely used around the world by professionals, students, research groups and businesses. ImageAI provides API to recognize 1000 different objects in a picture using pre-trained models that were trained on the ImageNet-1000 dataset. The model implementations provided are SqueezeNet, ResNet, InceptionV3 and DenseNet. ImageAI provides API to detect, locate and identify 80 most common objects in everyday life in a picture using pre-trained models that were trained on the COCO Dataset.

Detectron2 is Facebook AI Research's next generation software system that implements state-of-the-art object detection algorithms. It is a ground-up rewrite of the previous version, Detectron, and it originates from maskrcnn-benchmark. It is powered by the PyTorch deep learning framework. Includes more features such as panoptic segmentation, Densepose, Cascade R-CNN, rotated bounding boxes, PointRend, DeepLab, etc. Can be used as a library to support different projects on top of it. We'll open source more research projects in this way. It trains much faster. Models can be exported to TorchScript format or Caffe2 format for deployment. With a new, more modular design, Detectron2 is flexible and extensible, and able to provide fast training on single or multiple GPU servers. Detectron2 includes high-quality implementations of state-of-the-art object detection.

The Simd Library is a free open source image processing library, designed for C and C++ programmers. It provides many useful high performance algorithms for image processing such as: pixel format conversion, image scaling and filtration, extraction of statistic information from images, motion detection, object detection (HAAR and LBP classifier cascades) and classification, neural network. The algorithms are optimized with using of different SIMD CPU extensions. In particular the library supports following CPU extensions: SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2 and AVX-512 for x86/x64, VMX(Altivec) and VSX(Power7) for PowerPC, NEON for ARM. The Simd Library has C API and also contains useful C++ classes and functions to facilitate access to C API. The library supports dynamic and static linking, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, Android and Linux, MSVS, G++ and Clang compilers, MSVS project and CMake build systems.
