  • Attribute classifiers for image classification
    Patent number: 11281912
    Abstract: A method includes activating a first object detector and a second object detector. The first object detector is operable to detect a first type of object in a set of image frames, and the second object detector is operable to detect a second type of object in the set of image frames. The method also includes activating a first set of attribute classifiers and a second set of attribute classifiers. The method also includes generating first statistics for the first object detector and second statistics for the second object detector. The method also includes modifying activation of at least the second set of attribute classifiers based on a comparison of the first statistics and the second statistics.
    Type: Grant
