Table of Contents

Paper list from 2014 to now(2019)

The part highlighted with red characters means papers that i think "must-read". However, it is my personal opinion and other papers are important too, so I recommend to read them if you have time.

Performance table

FPS(Speed) index is related to the hardware spec(e.g. CPU, GPU, RAM, etc), so it is hard to make an equal comparison. The solution is to measure the performance of all models on hardware with equivalent specifications, but it is very difficult and time consuming.
