SPP-Net Paper Walkthrough: Breaking the Fixed-Size Constraint
This was actually a problem because objects in our surroundings have varying dimensions. With humans and cars, for example, we cannot use the exact same bounding box to approximate them since humans tend to have a vertical shape while it is more appropriate to approximate a car with a horizontal bounding box. The easiest way to address this issue is by using either cropping or warping, and by doing so we can set an image to have a specific size.

This was actually a problem because objects in our surroundings have varying dimensions. With humans and cars, for example, we cannot use the exact same bounding box to approximate them since humans tend to have a vertical shape while it is more appropriate to approximate a car with a horizontal bounding box.
