Abstract: An object detection method and a neural network system for object detection are disclosed. The object detection method acquires a current frame of a sequence of frames representing an image sequence, and extracts a feature map of the current frame. The extracted feature map is pooled with information of a pooled feature map of a previous frame to thereby obtain a pooled feature map of the current frame. An object is detected from the pooled feature map of the current frame. A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) may be utilized to provide the sequence of frames. Improved object detection accuracy may be realized, particularly when object movement speed is slow.

According to an example of the method, in a temporary system, a target physical hard disk to be used for installing the operating system is determined in response to a user operation of specifying the physical hard disk, and it is judged whether the temporary system and the operating system to be installed are of the same type. Then, in a system stage corresponding to a judgment result, a logical drive letter of the target physical hard disk on the operating system to be installed is queried by a query means corresponding to the judgment result. In this way, in a small system for the operating system to be installed, the operating system to be installed can be installed on the target physical hard disk identified by the logical drive letter.
