Multi-stage object detection and categorization of antenna mount locations

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• identifying a first object, a second object, or a combination thereof, as being present in a first plurality of images in accordance with a comparison of a first plurality of characteristics identified in the first plurality of images to a second plurality of characteristics associated with a plurality of objects, resulting in at least one identified object;
• identifying a third plurality of characteristics in the first plurality of images based on a processing of the first plurality of images in accordance with a bounding region that at least partially surrounds the at least one identified object;
• identifying a first attribute of a plurality of attributes as being present in the at least one identified object in accordance with a comparison of the third plurality of characteristics to the plurality of attributes;
• and
• generating a direction for deployment of at least a first resource for the at least one identified object in accordance with the identifying of the at least one identified object and the identifying of the first attribute.

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a processing system including a processor, that a first instance of a first object present in a first image has a first attribute, in accordance with a first execution of an image processing algorithm for the first image;
• determining, by the processing system, that a second instance of the first object is present in the first image, a second image, or a combination thereof, wherein the second instance of the first object is different from the first instance of the first object;
• responsive to the determining that the second instance of the first object is present in the first image, the second image, or the combination thereof, generating, by the processing system, a bounding region that at least partially surrounds the second instance of the first object in the first image, the second image, or the combination thereof;
• responsive to the generating of the bounding region, determining, by the processing system, that the second instance of the first object has a second attribute that is different from the first attribute, in accordance with a second execution of the image processing algorithm for the first image, the second image, or the combination thereof;
• and
• generating, by the processing system, an instruction for positioning a resource in accordance with the determining that the first instance of the first object in the first image has the first attribute and in accordance with the determining that the second instance of the first object has the second attribute.
