Publication number: 20200160106Abstract: Cameras with large field-of-view lenses can cause significant geometric distortions of the images acquired. Training for object detection normally takes place on undistorted images. Thus, in order to detect objects of interest within the acquired images, an undistortion procedure is applied on the acquired images and an object detection is then performed on the undistorted images. Unfortunately, such undistortion procedure is too computationally expensive to be run on some edge devices. To remove the need to perform the undistortion procedure, it is proposed to train for object detection directly from distorted acquired images.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2018Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: Ravishankar SIVALINGAM, Edwin Chongwoo PARK
