Sample Question 1
Computer Vision & Geospatial Remote Sensing AI Medium • Artificial Intelligence
What is the primary difference between Two-Stage and One-Stage Object Detectors?
A Two-stage detectors (Faster R-CNN) first generate Region Proposals (RPN) and then classify/refine them; One-stage detectors (YOLO, SSD) predict bounding boxes and class probabilities directly in a single dense grid pass
B Two-stage detectors process images in black and white; One-stage detectors in color
C Two-stage detectors run on CPU; One-stage detectors on GPU
D Two-stage detectors only detect 2 objects per image
✓ Correct Answer: A - Two-stage detectors (Faster R-CNN) first generate Region Proposals (RPN) and then classify/refine them; One-stage detectors (YOLO, SSD) predict bounding boxes and class probabilities directly in a single dense grid pass
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Two-stage models prioritize detection accuracy/mAP; one-stage models achieve real-time inference speeds (>60 FPS) suitable for video streams and drone feeds.
Sample Question 2
Computer Vision & Geospatial Remote Sensing AI Hard • Artificial Intelligence
In 'Faster R-CNN', what is the role of the 'Region Proposal Network' (RPN)?
A A lightweight convolutional network that slides over feature maps to generate candidate bounding box proposals (RoIs) with objectness scores and anchor box offsets
B A module that scales image brightness
C A module that converts bounding boxes to text captions
D A classifier that performs OCR on road signs
✓ Correct Answer: A - A lightweight convolutional network that slides over feature maps to generate candidate bounding box proposals (RoIs) with objectness scores and anchor box offsets
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
RPN replaced slow CPU selective search with fast GPU-based anchor proposals, sharing convolutional features with the downstream detection network.
Sample Question 3
Computer Vision & Geospatial Remote Sensing AI Medium • Artificial Intelligence
In YOLO (You Only Look Once), what is the 'Non-Maximum Suppression' (NMS) post-processing algorithm?
A An iterative algorithm that filters out overlapping redundant bounding boxes, keeping only the highest confidence box and eliminating boxes with IoU (Intersection over Union) > threshold
B A method to suppress dark background pixels in images
C A neural network layer that speeds up backpropagation
D A technique for cropping images to square shapes
✓ Correct Answer: A - An iterative algorithm that filters out overlapping redundant bounding boxes, keeping only the highest confidence box and eliminating boxes with IoU (Intersection over Union) > threshold
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
NMS cleans up dense multi-box detections, ensuring each unique physical object is localized with exactly one bounding box.
Sample Question 4
Computer Vision & Geospatial Remote Sensing AI Medium • Artificial Intelligence
What is 'Intersection over Union' (IoU) / Jaccard Index in object detection and semantic segmentation evaluation?
A Area of Overlap / Area of Union: |A intersect B| / |A union B| between predicted bounding box/mask and ground-truth annotation
B The sum of image width and height
C The ratio of precision to recall
D The angle between two bounding box diagonals
✓ Correct Answer: A - Area of Overlap / Area of Union: |A intersect B| / |A union B| between predicted bounding box/mask and ground-truth annotation
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
IoU >= 0.5 is the standard threshold for True Positive detection in PASCAL VOC and COCO mAP evaluations.
Sample Question 5
Computer Vision & Geospatial Remote Sensing AI Hard • Artificial Intelligence
What is 'Mean Average Precision' (mAP, e.g. mAP@0.5, mAP@0.5:0.95) in object detection?
A The mean of the Average Precision (area under the Precision-Recall curve) calculated across all object categories and IoU threshold intervals
B The average classification accuracy across all pixels
C The speed of object detection in frames per second
D The mean pixel intensity across RGB channels
✓ Correct Answer: A - The mean of the Average Precision (area under the Precision-Recall curve) calculated across all object categories and IoU threshold intervals
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
COCO mAP@0.5:0.95 averages AP across 10 IoU thresholds (from 0.50 to 0.95 with step 0.05) to rigorously penalize localization inaccuracies.
Sample Question 6
Computer Vision & Geospatial Remote Sensing AI Hard • Artificial Intelligence
What is 'U-Net' architecture (Ronneberger et al. 2015) and why is it the gold standard for biomedical and satellite image segmentation?
A An encoder-decoder network featuring skip connections that concatenate high-resolution spatial feature maps from contracting paths directly to expanding upsampling paths
B A network shaped like a circle that loops infinitely
C A generative network that produces synthetic images from text
D A network that processes 1D audio waves
✓ Correct Answer: A - An encoder-decoder network featuring skip connections that concatenate high-resolution spatial feature maps from contracting paths directly to expanding upsampling paths
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
U-Net skip connections preserve precise pixel-level spatial boundaries lost during downsampling, essential for flood inundation and tumor boundary segmentation.
Sample Question 7
Computer Vision & Geospatial Remote Sensing AI Medium • Artificial Intelligence
What is the primary difference between 'Semantic Segmentation' and 'Instance Segmentation'?
A Semantic segmentation labels every pixel with a class (e.g. all people are red); Instance segmentation labels every pixel AND differentiates distinct object instances (e.g. Person 1 is red, Person 2 is blue)
B Semantic is for text; Instance is for images
C Semantic is 2D; Instance is 3D
D There is no difference between them
✓ Correct Answer: A - Semantic segmentation labels every pixel with a class (e.g. all people are red); Instance segmentation labels every pixel AND differentiates distinct object instances (e.g. Person 1 is red, Person 2 is blue)
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Instance segmentation (e.g. Mask R-CNN, SAM) detects individual objects with distinct mask boundaries, whereas semantic segmentation (e.g. DeepLab) groups all instances into one class mask.
Sample Question 8

D Batch Normalization
✓ Correct Answer: A - RoIAlign (using bilinear interpolation to extract feature values at continuous floating-point locations without discrete coordinate rounding)
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
He et al. showed RoIPool's coordinate rounding introduced substantial spatial misalignments; RoIAlign resolves this with continuous bilinear sampling.
