ABSTRACT:
A system and method for toboggan-based object detection in cutting planes are provided. A method for detecting an object in an image includes: determining a region of interest (ROI) in the image; determining a toboggan potential for each image element in the ROI; extracting a plurality of cutting planes from the ROI; and performing a tobogganing in the cutting planes to form a toboggan cluster to determine a location of the object, wherein image elements inside the toboggan cluster are stored in a cluster-member list, image elements on an outer-border of the toboggan cluster are stored in an outer-border list and image elements on an inner-border of the toboggan cluster are stored in an inner-border list.
