An object detection and classification method and apparatus, the method includes: inputting an image; performing window scan on the image to make, for each class, object existence decision on each window, and making, on a window of which the decision is positive, an object class decision to obtain an object classification confidence of the window; performing, for all classes, spatial neighborhood merging on all windows with positive result of object existence decision to obtain merged regions and object detection confidences thereof; judging, for each merged region, whether the object detection confidence of the merged region is higher than a predetermined threshold; calculating, for each class, if higher than the predetermined threshold, a merged object classification confidence for all the windows with positive result of object existence decision within the merged region; and determining a class with a highest merged object classification confidence as the class of the merged region. |
