# Object Detection Actions

> Locate and segment specific objects within an image.

The Copyleaks Object Detection API locates specific objects within an image and returns a Run-Length Encoded (RLE) segmentation mask for each object it finds. You provide the list of objects to look for; the response contains one entry per object that was detected.

Object detection performs segmentation only - it does not classify whether the image is AI-generated. For AI-generated content detection, use the [AI Image Detection API](/reference/actions/ai-image-detector/overview).
