Localizing relevant objects in multi-object images

A system for localizing relevant objects in multi-object images, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operative upon execution by the processor to:
• receive a multi-object image;
• detect a plurality of detected objects within the multi-object image;
• generate a primary heatmap for the multi-object image, the primary heatmap having at least one region of interest;
• determine a first relevant detected object corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap;
• determine an irrelevant detected object not corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap;
• determine a class score for each of the first relevant detected object and the irrelevant detected object;
• rank the class scores, wherein the class score for the first relevant detected object exceeds the class score for the irrelevant detected object;
• and
• indicate the first relevant detected object as an output result but not indicate the irrelevant detected object as an output result.

One or more computer storage devices having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which, on execution by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a multi-object image;
• detecting a plurality of detected objects within the multi-object image;
• generating a primary heatmap for the multi-object image, the primary heatmap having at least one region of interest;
• determining a first relevant detected object corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap;
• determining an irrelevant detected object not corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap;
• determining a class score for each of the first relevant detected object and the irrelevant detected object;
• ranking the class scores, wherein the class score for the first relevant detected object exceeds the class score for the irrelevant detected object;
• and
• indicating the first relevant detected object as an output result but not indicating the irrelevant detected object as an output result.
