As per my understanding, the goal of object detection is to find the location of an object in a given picture accurately and mark the object with the appropriate category. To be precise, the problem that object detection seeks to solve involves determining where the object is, and what it is.

However, solving this problem is not easy. Unlike the human eye, a computer processes images in two dimensions. Furthermore, the size of the object, its orientation in the space, its attitude, and its location in the image can all vary greatly.
