ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for determining a set of sub-classifiers for a detector of an object detection program are presented. According to one embodiment, the system may include a candidate coefficient-subset creation module, a training module in communication with the candidate coefficient-subset creation module, and a sub-classifier selection module in communication with the training module. The candidate coefficient-subset creation module may create a plurality of candidate subsets of coefficients. The coefficients are the result of a transform operation performed on a two-dimensional (2D) digitized image, and represent corresponding visual information from the 2D image that is localized in space, frequency, and orientation. The training module may train a sub-classifier for each of the plurality of candidate subsets of coefficients. The sub-classifier selection module may select certain of the plurality of sub-classifiers. The selected sub-classifiers may comprise the components of the detector. Also presented are systems and methods for detecting instances of an object in a 2D (two-dimensional) image.
