Patent ID: 8170303

Claim:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying instructions executed by a processor to perform a method for view classification, the method comprising: deriving a region of interest localizing an object of interest within an image for each of a plurality of detectors, wherein each detector is configured to detect a portion of the object of interest from a certain view, and each detector is configured for a different view of the object of interest; determining a global template for each of the regions of interest, wherein each global template is a bounding box larger than and including the region of interest, wherein the global template corresponds to a cropped portion of the image; performing a global view classification of the cropped portion of the image using a multiview classifier, wherein the multiview classifier outputs a classification for each of the global templates; and fusing the classifications of the global templates to determine a bounding box for the object of interest in the image.
