The second version of MobileNet, referred to as MobileNetV2, is even faster than MobileNet. The second version has fewer parameters as well. Since its launch, MobileNetV2 has been widely used in state-of-the-art object detection and segmentation architectures to make object detection or segmentation possible on devices with limited resources. Let's look at the motivation behind the creation of MobileNetV2.
