US Patent 11334771 Methods, devices and systems for combining object detection models

A computer-implemented method of detecting logos in a graphical rendering may comprise detecting, using a first and a second trained object detector, logos in the graphical rendering and outputting a first and a second list of detections and filtering, using at least a first and a second prior performance-based filter, the received first and second lists of detections into a first group of kept detections, a second group of discarded detections and a third group of detections. Detections in the third group of detections may be clustered in at least one cluster comprising detections that are of a same class and that are generally co-located within the electronic image. A cluster score may then be assigned to each cluster. A set of detections of logos in the graphical rendering may then be output, the set comprising the detections in the first group and a detection from each of the clusters whose assigned cluster score is greater than a respective threshold.
