Dive into retail analytics, where YOLOv8 can optimize inventory management and customer experience by tracking products and people movements.
Object detection is a task that involves identifying the location and class of objects in an image or video stream. The output of an object detector is a set of bounding boxes that enclose the objects in the image, along with class labels and confidence scores for each box. Object detection is a good choice when you need to identify objects of interest in a scene.
