Object detection techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a plurality of images are received by a computing device. The plurality of images are analyzed by the computing device to detect whether the images include, respectively, a depiction of an object. If an object is found in a first image, the locations, angles and scales for object detection can be further restricted in a second one. If an object is not found in a first one of the image, different portions of a second one of the images are analyzed for object detection.

Object detection techniques

A streaming video interface component receives video frames from a streaming driver before the frames are received by a consuming application. The streaming video interface component provides the video frames to a video effect rendering component which renders video effects selected by a user. The video frames with the rendered video effects are then provided back to the streaming interface component which thereafter provides them to the consuming application.
