前言
参考[学者]对R-CNN的前言介绍：overfeat是用深度学习的方法做目标检测，但RCNN是第一个可以真正可以工业级应用的解决方案。可以说改变了目标检测领域的主要研究思路，紧随其后的系列文章：Fast-RCNN、Faster-RCNN、Mask RCNN都沿袭R-CNN的思路。在2013年11月发布了第一版本，一直到2014年10月共计发布5个版本，2014年发布在CVPR，CVPR是IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition的缩写，即IEEE国际计算机视觉与模式识别会议。该会议是由IEEE举办的计算机视觉和模式识别领域的顶级会议。近年来每年有约1500名参加者，收录的论文数量一般300篇左右。会议每年都会有固定的研讨主题，而每一年都会有公司赞助该会议并获得在会场展示的机会。三大顶级会议有CVPR、ICCV和ECCV。

classify:识别目标类别
localization:单个目标，标出目标位置
detection:多个目标，标出目标位置，识别类别
segementation：目标分割
0 Abstract
Object detection performance, as measured on the canonical PASCAL VOC dataset, has plateaued in the last few years. The best-performing methods are complex ensemble systems that typically combine multiple low-level image features with high-level context. In this paper, we propose a simple and scalable detection algorithm that improves mean average precision (mAP) by more than 30% relative to the previous best result on VOC 2012---achieving a mAP of 53.3%. Our approach combines two key insights: (1) one can apply high-capacity convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to bottom-up region proposals in order to localize and segment objects and (2) when labeled training data is scarce, supervised pre-training for an auxiliary task, followed by domain-specific fine-tuning, yields a significant performance boost. Since we combine region proposals with CNNs, we call our method R-CNN: Regions with CNN features. We also compare R-CNN to OverFeat, a recently proposed sliding-window detector based on a similar CNN architecture. We find that R-CNN outperforms OverFeat by a large margin on the 200-class ILSVRC2013 detection dataset. Source code for the complete system is available at this http URL.
