Abstract

This paper is a brief overview of the topic of object recognition and how it can be used to detect different objects present on a busy road. Using this technology, we aim to detect emergency vehicles present on the road so that a free path can be created for them, which would be able to save precious time in time-sensitive situations. The introduction to object recognition includes what is the work done and how it can be executed in the best way possible in an error-free manner. The best results are depicted in our research methodology. In this paper, we compared different methodologies available for object recognition such as YOLO algorithm, Region-based convolutional networks (R-CNN), and Single-Shot Detector (SDD) and ultimately chose YOLO algorithm, which from our results would work optimally in a situation where emergency vehicles need to be detected on a busy road.
