US Patent 10579897 Image based object detection

Systems and methods are disclosed for image-based object detection and classification. For example, methods may include accessing an image from an image sensor; applying a convolutional neural network to the image to obtain localization data to detect an object depicted in the image and to obtain classification data to classify the object, in which the convolutional neural network has been trained in part using training images with associated localization labels and classification labels and has been trained in part using training images with associated classification labels that lack localization labels; annotating the image based on the localization data and the classification data to obtain an annotated image; and storing, displaying, or transmitting the annotated image.
