Optimizing the detection of objects in images

摘要

A system and method detect objects in a digital image. At least positional data associated with a vehicle is received. Geographical information associated with the positional data is received. A probability of detecting a target object within a corresponding geographic area associated with the vehicle is determined based on the geographical data. The probability is compared to a given threshold. An object detection process is at least one of activated and maintained in an activated state in response to an object detection process in response to the probability being one of above and equal to the given threshold. The object detection process detects target objects within at least one image representing at least one frame of a video sequence of an external environment. The object detection process is at least one of deactivated and maintained in a deactivated state in response to the probability being below the given threshold.

1. A method, with an information processing system, for detecting objects in a digital image, the method comprising:
receiving at least one image representing at least one frame of a video sequence of an external environment of a vehicle; identifying a set of environmental conditions associated with a geographic area corresponding to a location of the vehicle; selecting an illumination model based on the set of environmental conditions; processing the at least one image with respect to the illumination mode; retrieving at least one object template associated with an object of interest; selecting an object appearance model based on the set of environmental conditions; processing the at least one object template with respect to the illumination model and object appearance model; analyzing the at least one image that has been processed with respect to the at least one object template that has been processed; and determining, based on the analyzing, if the at least one image that has been processed comprises the object of interest.
