RECOGNITION OF OBJECTS IN IMAGES WITH EQUIVARIANCE OR INVARIANCE IN RELATION TO THE OBJECT SIZE

摘要

A method for recognizing at least one object in at least one input image. In the method, a template image of the object is processed by a first convolutional neural network (CNN) to form at least one template feature map; the input image is processed by a second CNN to form at least one input feature map; the at least one template feature map is compared to the at least one input feature map; it is evaluated from the result of the comparison whether and possibly at which position the object is contained in the input image, the convolutional neural networks each containing multiple convolutional layers, and at least one of the convolutional layers being at least partially formed from at least two filters, which are convertible into one another by a scaling operation.
