Abstract
In one embodiment, a plurality of patches of an image are processed using a first deep-learning model to detect a plurality of features associated with the first patch of the image. Each patch includes one or more pixels of the image. Using a second deep-learning model, a respective object proposal is generated for each of the plurality of patches of the image. The second deep-learning model takes as input the plurality of detected features associated with the respective patch of the image, and each object proposal includes a prediction as to a location of an object in the patch. Using a third deep-learning model, a respective score is computed for each object proposal generated using the second deep-learning model. The third deep-learning model takes as input the plurality of detected features associated with the respective patch of the image, and the object score may include a likelihood that the patch contains an entire object.
