Advantages

Disadvantages

Traditional methods

Algorithms based on colors or shapes

Simple to implement, low computational resources

Sensitive to complex backgrounds and lighting changes

Machine learning

HOG, SIFT, SVM, RF

Require less data compared to deep learning methods

poor accuracy, time-consuming

Deep learning

CNN

Automatically extracts features, high accuracy

Requires a significant amount of labeled data for training

Faster R-CNN

High accuracy, particularly for small objects

Higher computational and time costs

SSD, YOLO

Fast speed with relatively high accuracy

Poor performance on small object detection
