An electronic device and related method for object detection

An electronic devicecomprising:

• memory circuitry;
• interface circuitry;
• and
• processor circuitry;
• wherein the processor circuitryis configured to:
• obtain first image data associated with a first image,
• obtain a primary object based on the first image data;
• generate one or more secondary objects based on a first augmentation operation of the primary object;
• obtain primary background data from the first image data;
• generate secondary background data based on a second augmentation operation of the primary background data;
• provide a first data set by combining the primary object and/or the one or more secondary objects with the primary background data and/or the secondary background data;
• generate, based on the first data set, a detection model for detecting one or more objects of the same type as the primary object;
• and
• provide an object detector configured to detect, based on the detection model, the one or more objects of the same type as the primary object,
• wherein the electronic device is configured to generate, based on the first data set, a training image data set and/or a test image data set.
