Abstract Object detection remains one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision, particularly when deployed on resource-constrained devices that must balance computational efficiency with detection accuracy. The current paper suggests a new hybrid architecture that combines Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster RCNN) with Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to obtain efficient and accurate object detection. The suggested model uses Faster RCNN as a feature backbone to produce high-quality regional proposals, and a DRL agent trains to first refine the model by further bounding box localization using an optimized reward that depends on Intersection over Union (IOU). Image Evaluation Time (IET) is another important performance metric that is also presented by the framework to determine the feasibility of real-time deployment. Experiments with PASCAL VOC 2012 and ImageNet indicate the proposed model has a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 84.7, an IOU score of 87.3, and an IET of 38 ms per image, which is better than a range of other modern baseline approaches. Moreover, the model has a much lower storage footprint (112 MB) and reduced computational overhead, making it appropriate for embedded and edge computing platforms. The findings confirm that Faster RCNN and DRL synergy provide a solid and scalable tool in real-world applications of object identification.
