Both Faster R-CNN and OpenAI CLIP are commonly used in computer vision projects. Below, we compare and contrast Faster R-CNN and OpenAI CLIP.
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.
CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training) is an impressive multimodal zero-shot image classifier that achieves impressive results in a wide range of domains with no fine-tuning. It applies the recent advancements in large-scale transformers like GPT-3 to the vision arena.
