Visual Entity Detection Task

An Visual Entity Detection Task is a computer vision task that is a detection task.

• AKA: Visual Entity Identification.
• Context:
  • Input: Image Data.
  • output: Category Identifier.
  • measure(s): Intersection over Union, ...
  • It can support a Visual Item Recognition Task.
• Example(s):
  • Face Detection.
  • Shoes Detection.
  • "Which squares contain traffic lights?” [1]
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Named Entity Identification Task.
• See: Video Surveillance, Computer Vision, Image Processing, Pedestrian Detection, Image Retrieval.

  • Object detection is a computer technology related to computer vision and image processing that deals with detecting instances of semantic objects of a certain class (such as humans, buildings, or cars) in digital images and videos. Well-researched domains of object detection include face detection and pedestrian detection. Object detection has applications in many areas of computer vision, including image retrieval and video surveillance.
