Faster R-CNN vs. Mask RCNN

Both Faster R-CNN and Mask RCNN are commonly used in computer vision projects. Below, we compare and contrast Faster R-CNN and Mask RCNN.

Models

Faster R-CNN

One of the most accurate object detection algorithms but requires a lot of power at inference time. A good choice if you can do processing asynchronously on a server.
