Abstract:
A method of object detection includes obtaining a set of images depicting overlapping regions of an area containing a plurality of objects. Each image includes input object indicators defined by input bounding boxes, input confidence level values, and object identifiers. The method includes identifying candidate subsets of input object indicators in adjacent images. Each candidate subset has input overlapping bounding boxes in a common frame of reference, and a common object identifier. The method includes adjusting the input confidence levels for each input object indicator in the candidate subsets; selecting clusters of the input object indicators satisfying a minimum input confidence threshold, having a common object identifier, and having a degree of overlap satisfying a predefined threshold; and detecting an object by generating a single output object indicator for each cluster, the output object indicator having an output bounding box, an output confidence level value, and the common object identifier.
