Deep Models are good for tasks of classification. However they can also be utilised to solve regression problems.

Using Deep regression, a CNN model with Dense end nodes can be utilised to predict the 4 coordinates

of a bounding box namely (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

For example:

Given the input image (100 * 100):

The ideal model predicts the bounding box coordinates :

[0.37, 0.31, 0.91, 0.81]

which when rescaled to the image corresponds to

[37, 31, 91, 81]

    i.e. (x1,y1) = [37,31] {Top-Left Coordinate}

         (x2,y2) = [91,81] {Bottom-Right Coordinate}
