SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO INCREASE SPEED OF OBJECT DETECTION IN A DIGITAL IMAGE

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed that determine a largest patch size to traverse a digital image, analyze the digital image to detect one or more first objects of a size approximately the same as the largest patch size, and discontinue analyzing the digital image when the digital image includes the first object(s) of a size approximately the same as the largest patch size. The patch size is decremented to progressively smaller patch sizes if the first object(s) of a size approximately the same as the largest patch size is not detected and the digital image is further analyzed to detect one or more first objects of a size approximately the same as the smaller patch size until the first object(s) are detected or the patch size is decremented below a predetermined smallest size.
