ABSTRACT:
A system and method for object detection are provided where the system includes a component detection unit for detecting components in an image, a component fusion unit in signal communication with the component detection unit for fusing the components into an object, and a CPU in signal communication with the detection and fusion units for comparing the fused components with a statistical model; and the method includes receiving observation data for a plurality of training images, forming at least one statistical model from the plurality of training images, receiving an input image having a plurality of pixels, detecting a plurality of components in the input image, determining a fusion of the detected components, comparing the fusion with the statistical model, and detecting an object in accordance with the comparison.
