METHOD, DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DETECTING OBJECTS IN DIGITAL IMAGES

摘要

Method, device, and computer program product for detecting an object in a digital image are provided. The method includes providing a detection window and determining at least one area of the object in the digital image by traversing the detection window by a first step size onto a set of pixels. Further, at each pixel, presence of at least one portion of the object in the detection window is detected. Upon detection of the presence of the object, the detection window is shifted by a second step size to neighbouring pixels. Further, the detection window is selected as an area of the object if the at least one portion of the object is present in at least a threshold number of detection windows at the neighbouring pixels. Thereafter, an object area representing the object in the digital image is selected based on the at least one area. Fig. 2
