Object recognition with dynamic switching of visual recognition processes using an image capturing device

Abstract:

A processor(s) processes multiple image frames of a scene for object recognition by applying a first process of a plurality of visual recognition processes using different grid sizes, to one or more image frames. The first process divides the image frame(s) into an m.times.m grid to determine bounding boxes for identifying one or more objects. Based on detecting passage of a predefined time interval, less than a period of time represented by the image frames, processing dynamically switches to a second process to process one or more other image frames. The second process is applied to the other image frame(s), dividing the other image frame(s) into an n.times.n grid to determine bounding boxes for identifying one or more other objects in the other image frame(s), where the n.times.n grid used by the second process is different from the m.times.m grid.
