# Introduction

Object class recognition locates instances of objects that belong to pre-defined classes, such as "car" or "van". This is more general than object recognition, which recognizes specific objects such as a red van that matches a specific model and has the logo of "ABC company" painted on its side.

Object class recognition differs from image classification because it returns the position for every recognized object. Object class recognition can find multiple objects within the analyzed image or region, whereas classification returns a single classification result and no position information. For example, using object class recognition to locate cars and people might return more than one instance of a car and more than one instance of a person in the same image.
