Quick object recognition: YOLOv3

Three common application to images are image classification (Is this an image of a cat or a dog?), image segmentation (Which part of this image (=which pixels) is/are dog?) and object recognition (Is there a dog in this picture? How many? Where are they?

Object recognition in images has become tremendously good, and you can have a modern network up and running in no time. A fun afternoon project is running the YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once) network on your webcam feed, and then think about what problem you could solve using these detections.
