Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to define the input shape for the YOLO model.

Computer Vision

input_shape = ([1], [2], 3)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using non-square input shapes like 224x416.

Forgetting the 3 color channels for RGB images.

The YOLO model commonly uses 416x416 pixel input images with 3 color channels (RGB).

medium

Complete the code to create a convolutional layer in YOLO with 32 filters.

Computer Vision

conv_layer = Conv2D([1], (3, 3), padding='same', activation='leaky_relu')

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

C64

D128

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using too few or too many filters like 16 or 128 at the start.

Forgetting the activation function.

YOLO starts with a convolutional layer of 32 filters to extract features.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the YOLO output layer code to predict bounding boxes.

Computer Vision

output = Conv2D([1], (1, 1), activation='linear')(previous_layer)

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

A255

B5

C3

D85

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 85 which is values per bounding box, but the layer outputs 255 for 3 boxes.

Using 5 which is for one box (4 coords + 1 objectness) without classes.

The output layer predicts 255 values per grid cell for 3 bounding boxes: 3 × (4 box coords + 1 objectness + 80 class probabilities) = 255.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to complete the YOLO loss function components.

Computer Vision

loss = [1] + [2]

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

Alocalization_loss

Bclassification_loss

Cregularization_loss

Dreconstruction_loss

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing reconstruction loss with YOLO loss.

Ignoring classification loss in total loss.

YOLO loss combines localization loss (for bounding box accuracy) and classification loss (for object class prediction).

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to complete the YOLO detection pipeline steps.

Computer Vision

detections = [1](image)
filtered = [2](detections, threshold=0.5)
final_boxes = [3](filtered)

Bnon_max_suppression

Cscale_boxes

Dimage_preprocessing

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Applying image preprocessing after prediction.

Skipping non-max suppression step.

YOLO pipeline: predict boxes, apply non-max suppression to remove overlaps, then scale boxes to original image size.

Practice

1. What is the main idea behind the YOLO architecture in object detection?

easy

A. It looks at the whole image once to find objects quickly.

B. It scans the image pixel by pixel for objects.

C. It uses multiple passes over the image to improve accuracy.

D. It only detects one object per image.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand YOLO's detection approach

   YOLO processes the entire image in one go instead of scanning parts multiple times.

2. Step 2: Compare options with YOLO's method

   Only It looks at the whole image once to find objects quickly. correctly states that YOLO looks at the whole image once for fast detection.

3. Final Answer:

   It looks at the whole image once to find objects quickly. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   YOLO = single pass detection [OK]

Hint: YOLO means one look at the image for all objects [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking YOLO scans pixel by pixel slowly
• Believing YOLO needs multiple passes
• Assuming YOLO detects only one object

2. Which of the following correctly describes how YOLO divides the input image?

easy

A. It splits the image into a grid of cells.

B. It divides the image into overlapping circles.

C. It processes the image as a single pixel vector.

D. It uses random patches of the image.

Solution

1. Step 1: Recall YOLO's image division method

   YOLO splits the image into a grid of cells to predict bounding boxes and classes per cell.

2. Step 2: Match options with this method

   Only It splits the image into a grid of cells. correctly states the grid division; others describe incorrect or unrelated methods.

3. Final Answer:

   It splits the image into a grid of cells. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   YOLO grid division = grid cells [OK]

Hint: YOLO uses grid cells, not random or circular parts [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing grid cells with overlapping circles
• Thinking YOLO processes pixels individually
• Believing YOLO uses random image patches

3. Given a YOLO model that divides an image into a 7x7 grid and predicts 2 boxes per cell, how many total bounding boxes does it predict?

medium

A. 14

B. 98

C. 49

D. 7

Solution

1. Step 1: Calculate total grid cells

   The grid is 7x7, so total cells = 7 * 7 = 49.

2. Step 2: Multiply by boxes per cell

   Each cell predicts 2 boxes, so total boxes = 49 * 2 = 98.

3. Final Answer:

   98 -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   7x7x2 = 98 boxes [OK]

Hint: Multiply grid cells by boxes per cell [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Multiplying grid size by 2 incorrectly
• Using 7 or 14 instead of total boxes
• Confusing grid cells with boxes

4. You wrote code to split an image into a 3x3 grid for YOLO, but your model predicts only 3 boxes total instead of 18. What is the likely error?

medium

A. You predicted 6 boxes per cell instead of 2.

B. You used a 1x3 grid instead of 3x3.

C. You predicted only 1 box per cell instead of 2.

D. You forgot to multiply grid cells by boxes per cell.

Solution

1. Step 1: Calculate expected boxes

   3x3 grid = 9 cells; with 2 boxes per cell, expected boxes = 9 * 2 = 18.

2. Step 2: Identify cause of only 3 boxes predicted

   Getting 3 boxes means only 1 box per cell was predicted instead of 2.

3. Final Answer:

   You predicted only 1 box per cell instead of 2. -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Grid cells x boxes per cell = total boxes [OK]

Hint: Check boxes predicted per cell [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Assuming wrong grid size
• Confusing boxes per cell count
• Ignoring multiplication step

5. In a real-time traffic camera system using YOLO, why is YOLO preferred over other detection methods?

hard

A. Because YOLO ignores small objects, reducing processing time.

B. Because YOLO requires multiple passes for higher accuracy, which is faster.

C. Because YOLO only detects one object type at a time, simplifying output.

D. Because YOLO processes the entire image quickly in one pass, enabling fast detection.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand YOLO's speed advantage

   YOLO looks at the whole image once, making it very fast for real-time detection.

2. Step 2: Compare with other methods

   Other methods often scan multiple times or use slower region proposals, making YOLO better for live video.

3. Final Answer:

   Because YOLO processes the entire image quickly in one pass, enabling fast detection. -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   YOLO = fast single pass detection [OK]

Hint: YOLO's one-pass speed suits real-time needs [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking multiple passes are faster
• Believing YOLO ignores small objects
• Assuming YOLO detects only one object type
