Abstract
An approach is provided for object detection. The approach involves receiving a feature map encoding high level features of object contours detected in an image divided into a plurality of grid cells, and further encoding start locations of each detected object contour. The approach also involves selecting a grid cell including a start location of an object contour. The approach further involves determining a precise location of the start location within the grid cell. The approach further involves determining a set of feature values from a set of proximate grid cells. The approach further involves processing the precise location and the set of feature values using a machine learning network to output a displacement vector to indicate a next coordinate of the object contour, and updating a cursor of the machine learning network based on the displacement vector.
