DETECTING OBJECTS IN VIDEO FRAMES USING SIMILARITY DETECTORS

Abstract:

An example apparatus for detecting objects in video frames includes a receiver to receive a plurality of video frames from a video camera. The apparatus also includes a first still image object detector to receive a first frame of the plurality of video frames and calculate localization information and confidence information for each potential object patch in the first frame. The apparatus further includes a second still image object detector to receive an adjacent frame of the plurality of video frames adjacent to the first frame and calculate localization information and confidence information for each potential object patch in the adjacent frame. The apparatus includes a similarity detector trained to detect paired patches between the first frame and the adjacent frame based on a comparison of the detected potential object patches. The apparatus further includes an enhancer to modify a prediction result for a paired patch in the adjacent frame to a prediction result of a corresponding paired patch in the first frame including a higher confidence score than the prediction result of the paired patch in the adjacent frame.
