Object detection apparatus and method therefor

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes a moving image input unit configured to input a moving image, an object likelihood information storage unit configured to store object likelihood information in association with a corresponding position in an image for each object size in each frame included in the moving image, a determination unit configured to determine a pattern clipping position where a pattern is clipped out based on the object likelihood information stored in the object likelihood information storage unit, and an object detection unit configured to detect an object in an image based on the object likelihood information of the pattern clipped out at the pattern clipping position determined by the determination unit.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a moving image input unit configured to input a moving image; a storage unit configured to store object likelihood information in association with a corresponding position in a frame in the moving image; a setting unit configured to sequentially set a plurality of collation patterns in a frame with respective positions based on the object likelihood information stored in the storage unit; and a determination unit configured to derive object reliability information for each of the collation patterns, determine whether each of the collation patterns represents an object based on the derived object reliability information, and update the object likelihood information stored in the storage unit in association with a position of each of the collation patterns.
