## **What is [Logo Detection API](https://www.edenai.co/feature/logo-detection-apis)?**

Logo detection API, also called [Logo Recognition API](https://www.edenai.co/feature/logo-detection-apis), helps creators put logo detection abilities into their software, websites, or apps. It can automatically identify and analyze logos in videos or images and provide details like logo position, confidence ratings, and additional metadata if possible. Valuable for keeping an eye on your brand, studying marketing data, and checking content, logo detection APIs apply computer science techniques to detect and monitor your logos online.

These automated tools use machine learning and computer vision algorithms to quickly and accurately recognize and track your logos across different media sources. By using this service, businesses can oversee their brand without any hassle.


## **Top Open Source (Free) Logo Detection models on the market**

For users seeking a cost-effective engine, opting for an open-source model is the recommended choice. Here is the list of the best Logo Detection Open Source Models:

**1‍. [YOLOv2](https://github.com/akarshzingade/Logo-Detection-YOLOv2)**

This open source model can be used for logo detection in images. 

**2. [DeepLogo2](https://github.com/satojkovic/DeepLogo2)**

DETR is a Transformer-based object detection model published by Facebook AI in 2020. DeepLogo2 is a brand logo detection system using DETR.

**3. [Detectron 2](https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2)**

Detectron2 is Facebook AI Research's next-generation library that provides state-of-the-art detection and segmentation algorithms. It is the successor of Detectron and maskrcnn-benchmark. It supports a number of computer vision research projects and production applications on Facebook. This can also be used for logo detection. 

**3. [TensorFlow](https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/object_detection)**

TensorFlow Object Detection API provides pre-trained models for object detection, and you can fine-tune them on your specific task, such as logo detection.

**4. [OpenCV](https://github.com/opencv/opencv)**

OpenCV is a computer vision library that includes tools for image processing. You can use it along with other frameworks for building a logo detection system.

**5. [MXNet](https://github.com/apache/mxnet)**

MXNet is an open-source deep learning framework. It provides tools for building and training models, and you can find models and implementations for logo detection using MXNet.



## **Cons of Using Open Source AI models**

‍While open source models offer many advantages, they also come with some potential drawbacks and challenges. Here are some cons of using open source models:

‍

- **Not Entirely Cost Free:** Open-source models, while providing valuable resources to users, may not always be entirely free of cost. Users often need to bear expenses related to hosting and server usage, especially when dealing with large or resource-intensive data sets.
- **Lack of Support**: Open source models may not have official support channels or dedicated customer support teams. If you encounter issues or need assistance, you might have to rely on community forums or the goodwill of volunteers, which can be less reliable than commercial support.
- **Limited Documentation**: Some open source models may have incomplete or poorly maintained documentation. This can make it difficult for developers to understand how to use the model effectively, leading to frustration and wasted time.
- **Security Concerns**: Security vulnerabilities can exist in open source models, and it may take longer for these issues to be addressed compared to commercially supported models. Users of open source models may need to monitor for security updates and patches actively.
- **Scalability and Performance**: Open source models may not be as optimized for performance and scalability as commercial models. If your application requires high performance or needs to handle a large number of requests, you may need to invest more time in optimization.
