<![CDATA[The intersection of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and object detection represents one of the most promising developments in modern computer vision, offering innovative solutions to longstanding challenges in visual recognition systems. This review presents a systematic analysis of how GANs are transforming these challenges, examining their applications from 2020 to 2025. The paper investigates three primary domains where GANs have demonstrated remarkable potential: data augmentation for addressing data scarcity, occlusion handling techniques designed to manage visually obstructed objects, and enhancement methods specifically focused on improving small object detection performance. Analysis reveals significant performance improvements resulting from these GAN applications: data augmentation methods consistently boost detection metrics such as mAP and F1-score on scarce datasets, occlusion handling techniques successfully reconstruct hidden features with high PSNR and SSIM values, and small object detection techniques increase detection accuracy by up to 10% Average Precision in some studies. Collectively, these findings demonstrate how GANs, integrated with modern detectors, are greatly advancing object detection capabilities. Despite this progress, persistent challenges including computational cost and training stability remain. By critically analyzing these advancements and limitations, this paper provides crucial insights into the current state and potential future developments of GAN-based object detection systems.]]>
