Testing the baseline model

In this section, we will run the baseline model. In order to run the script, we need to jump to the location where we put the script titled real_time_object_detection.py and, on Command Prompt, we need to execute the following command:

Figure 9.13: Execution of the baseline approach

Take a look at the following figure. Here, I have just placed example images, but you can see the entire video when you run the script. Here is the link to see the entire video for real-time object detection using the baseline approach: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RwKEUaxTExefdrSJSy44NugqGZaTN_BX?usp=sharing.

Here, the mAP for the MobileNet SSD is 71.1% . You will learn how to optimize this approach in the upcoming section. First, we will list down the points that we can improve in the next iteration. So, let's jump to our next section.
