Both Faster R-CNN and YOLOv4 Darknet are commonly used in computer vision projects. Below, we compare and contrast Faster R-CNN and YOLOv4 Darknet.
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.
YOLOv4 has emerged as the best real time object detection model. YOLOv4 carries forward many of the research contributions of the YOLO family of models along with new modeling and data augmentation techniques. This implementation is in Darknet.
