Abstract: A method and device for real-time generation of a multiresolution representation of a digital image for real-time generation are disclosed. A sequence of main representations of the digital image is stored at successive different main resolutions in a main memory. A part of a current main representation is loaded from the main memory into a local memory via a bus. A current main representation is processed by determining a corresponding part of an intermediate representation of the image having an intermediate resolution lying between the resolution of the current main representation and the resolution of the subsequent main representation. The loading and processing steps are repeated for other parts of the current main representation until all parts of the current main representation have been successively loaded and processed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of performing, by an image processing device, object detection in an image comprising: performing one or more tests of a test sequence for detection of a first object on pixels values of a plurality of at least partially overlapping sub-regions (310, 312, 314) of a first search window (108); generating a cumulative score based on results of said one or more tests on said plurality of sub-regions; comparing said cumulative score with a threshold value; and based on said comparison, selectively performing one or more of said tests of said test sequence on at least one further sub-region of said first search window, said at least one further sub-region at least partially overlapping each of said plurality of sub-regions.
