Our BigDetection dataset has 600 object categories and contains over 3.4M training images with 36M bounding boxes. ➡️ It is much larger in multiple dimensions than previous benchmarks, which offers both opportunities and challenges. ➡️ Extensive experiments demonstrate its validity as a new benchmark for evaluating different object detection methods, and its effectiveness as a pre-training dataset. #computervision #artificialintelligence #technology
