The recent developments in the research area of computer vision and deep learning demonstrate a significant focus on enhancing object detection and image classification models, particularly in challenging real-world scenarios. Innovations are being directed towards improving the efficiency and accuracy of models in the presence of atmospheric noise, large-scale images, and the detection of small or densely packed objects. A notable trend is the exploration of hybrid models that combine the strengths of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with other machine learning techniques to address specific challenges such as haze in parking space detection. Additionally, there is a growing interest in the evolution of YOLO (You Only Look Once) models, with research aimed at understanding and comparing the architectures of the latest versions to facilitate better comprehension and future enhancements.
