Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to load an image using OpenCV.

Computer Vision

import cv2
image = cv2.[1]('image.jpg')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using imshow instead of imread to load an image.

The imread function loads an image from a file into memory.

Complete the code to draw a rectangle around the detected object.

Computer Vision

cv2.rectangle(image, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), [1], 2)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A(255, 0, 0)

B(255, 255, 255)

C(0, 0, 255)

D(0, 255, 0)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing red or blue which are other colors in BGR.

The color (0, 255, 0) represents green in BGR format, commonly used to highlight detected objects.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly extract the bounding box coordinates.

Computer Vision

x, y, w, h = [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Adetected_object['bbox']

Bdetected_object['box']

Cdetected_object['coordinates']

Ddetected_object['location']

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect keys like 'box' or 'location' which do not exist.

The bounding box coordinates are stored under the key 'bbox' in the detection result dictionary.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary of object labels and their confidence scores.

Computer Vision

results = {det['[1]']: det['[2]'] for det in detections}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Alabel

Bscore

Cbbox

Dclass

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'bbox' or 'class' which are not the correct keys for label or score.

The dictionary maps each detected object's label to its score, representing confidence.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to filter detections with confidence above 0.5 and create a list of bounding boxes.

Computer Vision

filtered_boxes = [det['[1]'] for det in detections if det['[2]'] [3] 0.5]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

D<

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '<' instead of '>' or wrong keys for bounding boxes or scores.

This code selects bounding boxes where the detection score is greater than 0.5, meaning confident detections.

Practice

1. Why does object detection localize objects in images?

easy

A. To find both what the object is and where it is located

B. To only classify the object without location

C. To change the colors of the image

D. To remove objects from the image

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the purpose of detection

   Detection aims to identify objects and their positions in an image, not just what they are.

2. Step 2: Differentiate detection from classification

   Classification only tells what object is present, but detection also tells where it is by drawing boxes.

3. Final Answer:

   To find both what the object is and where it is located -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Detection = What + Where [OK]

Hint: Detection = object type + location in image [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing detection with classification
• Thinking detection changes image colors
• Believing detection removes objects

2. Which output format correctly represents object detection results?

easy

A. Only a label without any location

B. A label and a bounding box with coordinates

C. A list of pixel colors

D. A blurred version of the image

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify detection output components

   Detection outputs include the object label and a bounding box showing where the object is.

2. Step 2: Eliminate incorrect outputs

   Labels alone or pixel colors do not localize objects; blurring is unrelated.

3. Final Answer:

   A label and a bounding box with coordinates -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Detection output = label + box [OK]

Hint: Detection outputs label + box, not just label [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking detection outputs only labels
• Confusing detection output with image filters
• Ignoring bounding box coordinates

3. Given this detection output: {'label': 'cat', 'box': [50, 30, 150, 130], 'confidence': 0.9}, what does the box represent?

medium

A. The number of cats detected

B. The color values of the cat

C. The size of the image

D. Coordinates of the cat's bounding box in the image

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the box format

   The box is a list of four numbers representing coordinates (x1, y1, x2, y2) of the bounding box around the object.

2. Step 2: Interpret the meaning of the box

   This box shows where the cat is located in the image, not color or image size.

3. Final Answer:

   Coordinates of the cat's bounding box in the image -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Box = object location coordinates [OK]

Hint: Box = coordinates marking object location [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing box with color or size
• Thinking box counts objects
• Ignoring coordinate meaning

4. A detection model outputs boxes but they do not match object locations well. What is a likely cause?

medium

A. The model was not trained with enough labeled bounding boxes

B. The image resolution is too high

C. The model only classifies objects without localization

D. The image is in grayscale

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify training data impact

   Detection models need many labeled bounding boxes to learn accurate localization.

2. Step 2: Rule out unrelated factors

   High resolution or grayscale images do not directly cause poor box accuracy; classification-only models do not output boxes at all.

3. Final Answer:

   The model was not trained with enough labeled bounding boxes -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Training data quality affects box accuracy [OK]

Hint: Poor boxes? Check training bounding boxes quantity [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Blaming image resolution instead of training data
• Confusing classification with detection
• Ignoring training data quality

5. In a safety monitoring system, why is it important that detection localizes objects instead of just classifying them?

hard

A. Because localization removes objects from images

B. Because classification alone can change object colors

C. Because knowing object locations helps track movements and avoid hazards

D. Because classification is slower than localization

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand safety system needs

   Safety systems need to know where objects are to monitor movement and prevent accidents.

2. Step 2: Compare classification vs localization

   Classification only tells what objects are present, but localization tells where they are, which is critical for tracking.

3. Final Answer:

   Because knowing object locations helps track movements and avoid hazards -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Safety needs location info, not just labels [OK]

Hint: Safety needs object location, not just type [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking classification changes colors
• Believing localization removes objects
• Confusing speed differences
