Intersection over Union and Non-Maximum Suppression in Object Detection

In object detection, accurately determining how well a predicted bounding box aligns with the ground truth is essential. This alignment is quantified using the Intersection over Union (IoU), a metric derived from set theory. IoU measures the overlap between two regions by dividing the area of their intersection by the area of their union: $$ \t ...
