Object Detection in Practice: YOLO, R-CNN and Better Dataset Design
A practical research note on choosing an object-detection approach from latency, localization, segmentation and dataset constraints—not from model-version numbers alone.
This is more than a publication list: each post explains the problem, data, method, result, limitations and engineering lesson behind the work.

A practical research note on choosing an object-detection approach from latency, localization, segmentation and dataset constraints—not from model-version numbers alone.

A domain-specific dataset of 3,000 Iranian vehicle images and 5,765 manually labeled bounding boxes improved YOLOv8s performance over a COCO-trained baseline.
DOI-linked papers use verified bibliographic records checked against Crossref during build; their paper-level citation counts are refreshed by exact DOI from Semantic Scholar. Google Scholar remains the primary scholarly-profile link.
