# Object Detection Guides

> Guides for locating and segmenting specific objects within an image using the Copyleaks Object Detection API.

The Copyleaks Object Detection API locates specific objects within an image and returns a Run-Length Encoded (RLE) segmentation mask for each one it finds. Use these guides to integrate object detection into your workflows.
