Abstract

An object detection method and a neural network system for object detection are disclosed. The object detection method acquires a current frame of a sequence of frames representing an image sequence, and extracts a feature map of the current frame. The extracted feature map is pooled with information of a pooled feature map of a previous frame to thereby obtain a pooled feature map of the current frame. An object is detected from the pooled feature map of the current frame. A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) may be utilized to provide the sequence of frames. Improved object detection accuracy may be realized, particularly when object movement speed is slow.
