Abstract
A scanning window is used to scan an image frame of a sensor when doing object detection. In one approach, positions within the image frame are stored in memory. Each position corresponds to an object detection at that position for a prior frame of data. A first area of the image frame is determined based on the stored positions. When starting to analyze a new frame of data, the first area is scanned to detect at least one object. After scanning within the first area, at least one other area of the new image frame is scanned.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- storing, in memory, positions within an image frame, each position corresponding to an object detection;
- determining a first area of the image frame, wherein the determination is based on the stored positions;
- scanning within the first area to detect at least one object;
- and
- after scanning within the first area, scanning within at least one other area of the image frame.
A system comprising:
- at least one processing device;
- and
- memory containing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processing device to:
- store positions within an image frame of a sensor, each position corresponding to an object detection based on data collected by the sensor;
- select a first area of a plurality of areas of the image frame, wherein the first area is selected using the stored positions and based on a level of object detection activity associated with each of the areas;
- and
- scan data collected within the first area for a current image, the scanning to detect at least one object within the first area.
A non-transitory computer storage medium storing instructions which, when executed on at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to at least:
- store positions corresponding to collection of data by a sensor, each position associated with an object detection, and the sensor configured to collect data from a plurality of regions;
- select a first region of the plurality of regions, wherein the first region is selected based on the stored positions;
- and
- scan data collected within the first region, the scanning to detect at least one object within the first region.
