Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: producing, by a computing system, a first independent representation of objects in an image dataset using a color/texture detection algorithm; producing, by the computing system, a second independent representation of objects in the image dataset using a shape/contour detection algorithm; and combining, by the computing system, the first and second independent representations into a single coherent output using a combinatorial algorithm, wherein the first independent representation of objects and the second independent representation of objects are independent from one another, wherein the combining of the first and second independent representations into the single coherent output using the combinatorial algorithm comprises: formatting, by the computing system, the first representation and the second representation as points in a matrix a size of a video frame of the image dataset; forming, by the computing system, clusters based on hits that are within a predetermined proximity and of a same label; and finding, by the computing system, a minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid to get an appropriate size and orientation of a bounding box.
