Object Detection via Gradient-Based Mask R-CNN Using Machine Learning Algorithms
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The authors seem to have made sincere attempts to address the review comments from the previous round of reviews. Thus, in my opinion, subject to the following minor corrections, the manuscript may be accepted for publication:
- The authors should clarify somewhere in the Introduction section that their proposed method does not relate to YoLo, as they mentioned in their response "Because the main core of this research paper is based upon RCNN and not related with YOLO." Otherwise readers moght wonder if the authors are unaware of any possible perceived similarity of their proposed method with a popular one such as YoLo.
- When the authors describe the image quality paper ( reference 21 ) in the last paragraph of Related Works, they should add a few sentences on its potential use to study the relation between image quality and object detection performance as future work.
- The manuscript still needs some more English editing to correct errors in phrases like the one on Line 67: "demonstrate its tremendous potential to **meet** a variety of obstacles"

Reviewer 2 Report
The paper deals with some quite common tools so contributions are quite difficult to be found. But authors highlight them and that is a positive point. However, there are some issues that must be improved before publication:
- The title is a little bit confusing and it is not clear the application of what is presented. I suggest revising it to provide a clearer idea of how the method could be used
- Section 2 must be revised and reorganised. A state os the art is not a commented list of references but they must be organised in groups.
- Sections 3 and 4 could be merged.
- In sections 5 and 6, there are long explanations before a subsection title. A subtitle at the beginning would improve understanding.

Round 2
Reviewer 2 Report
Some of my previous queries have been taken into account but some issues have not been addressed:
- The state of the art remains as list of references. The information must be grouped and not simply include a paragraph for each paper.
- It is not necessary the last change of including a mini-index of each section but including a subtitle at the beginning of the largest sections

Dear Sir,
We removed the mini-index part from manuscript as it not necessary to include. Hence, we mentioned the following subtitle at the beginning of the sections 4 and 5.
Again, if any mistakes or errors, please apologize.
