OBJECT DETECTION APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD

Abstract:

An object detection apparatus comprises circuitry configured to obtain one or more feature maps of a measurement space generated from sensor data of a scene, the sensor data including position information and a feature map representing feature values of a feature at a plurality of positions in the measurement space, transform the one or more feature maps into a template coordinate system, compute a likelihood that the one or more feature maps correspond to an object template and a given candidate object configuration, and iteratively compute likelihoods for different candidate object configurations and determine the object configuration with the highest likelihood.
