Abstract

Robots play a pivotal role in the manufacturing industry. This has led to the development of computer vision. Since AlexNet won ILSVRC, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art status in this area. In this work, a novel method is proposed to simultaneously detect and predict the localization of objects using a custom loop method and a CNN, performing two of the most important tasks in computer vision with a single method. Two different loss functions are proposed to evaluate the method and compare the results. The obtained results show that the network is able to perform both tasks accurately, classifying images correctly and locating objects precisely. Regarding the loss functions, when the target classification values are computed, the network performs better in the localization task. Following this work, improvements are expected to be made in the localization task of networks by refining the training processes of the networks and loss functions.
