Abstract: Described is an object recognition system. Using an integral channel features (ICF) detector, the system extracts a candidate target region (having an associated original confidence score representing a candidate object) from an input image of a scene surrounding a platform. A modified confidence score is generated based on a location and height of detection of the candidate object. The candidate target regions are classified based on the modified confidence score using a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier, resulting in classified objects. The classified objects are tracked using a multi-target tracker for final classification of each classified object as a target or non-target. If the classified object is a target, a device can be controlled based on the target.
