Object Counting
Object counting refers to the process of accurately identifying and quantifying objects within visual data, a critical task in computer vision. The challenge lies in developing robust algorithms that can handle variations in object appearance, scale, occlusion, and context. Recent advancements focus on integrating Vision Language Models (VLMs) with image segmentation techniques to enhance precision.
