Abstract: Computer vision systems and methods for object detection with reinforcement learning are provided. The system includes a reinforcement learning agent configured to detect an object pertaining to a target object class and a plurality of objects pertaining to different target object classes, such that the reinforcement learning agent determines a bounding box for each of the detected of objects. The system first sets parameters of the reinforcement learning agent. The system then detects an object and/or objects in an image based on the set parameters. Finally, the system determines a bounding box and/or bounding boxes for each of the detected objects.
