A method for detecting at least one object in an image including a pixel array, by means of an image processing device, including searching out the silhouette of the object in the image only if pixels of the image are at the minimum or maximum level.

Method and device for detecting an object in an image

The invention concerns a method of performing, by an image processing device, object detection in an image comprising: performing one or more tests of a test sequence for detection of a first object on pixels values of a plurality of at least partially overlapping sub-regions () of a first search window (); generating a cumulative score based on results of said one or more tests on said plurality of sub-regions; comparing said cumulative score with a threshold value; and based on said comparison, selectively performing one or more of said tests of said test sequence on at least one further sub-region of said first search window, said at least one further sub-region at least partially overlapping each of said plurality of sub-regions.
