Abstract
This disclosure provides a method for object detection. The method comprises receiving a user input that specifies one or more first regions and one or more second regions in a template image. The one or more second regions include one or more objects of interest. The method further comprises for each of the one or more first regions discovering a third region in an image under detection corresponding to the first region in the template image by matching the image under detection with the template image. The method further comprises computing a transformation function based on the matching from each of the one or more first regions to its corresponding third region. The method further comprises applying the computed transformation function to the one or more second regions to localize one or more fourth regions in the image under detection for the object detection.
