  • Patent number: 12244918
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining faces and bodies of people in an image by adaptively scaling images and by iteratively using a deep neural network for inferencing. A camera captures an image including faces and bodies of people. A face/body determiner determines faces and bodies of people appearing in the image by resizing the image into a predetermined pixel dimension as input to the deep neural network. A region cropper determines a crop region associated with a low level of confidence in detecting faces and bodies that are too small to determine with an acceptable level of confidence. The region cropper resizes the crop region into the predetermined pixel dimension as input to the deep neural network. The face and body determiner determines other faces and bodies appearing in the resized crop region. An aggregator aggregates locations of the determined faces and bodies in the image.
