Object/region detection and classification system with improved computer memory efficiency

An object detection and classification system with improved computer memory efficiency, comprising:

• an input value generation unit to receive an input image and generate an input value including feature information, the input image including an object intended to detect and classify;
• a memory value generation unit to receive a reference image and generate a memory value including feature information, the reference image being associated with the object;
• a memory management unit to select information having high importance from the memory values and store in a computer memory;
• an aggregated value generation unit configured to:
• compute similarity between the input value generated from the input image and the memory value stored in the computer memory;
• calculate a weighted sum to generate an integrated value;
• and
• aggregate the integrated value and the input value to generate an aggregated value;
• and
• an object detection unit to detect or classify the object from the input image using the aggregated value.
