Abstract
An electronic device includes circuitry that determines probability map information for a first image, based on application of a neural network model on the first image. The neural network model is trained to detect one or more objects based on a plurality of images associated with the one or more objects. The probability map information indicates a probability value for each pixel in the first image. A region corresponding to the one or more objects is detected in the first image based on the probability map information. A first set of sub-images is determined from the detected region, based on application of a stochastic optimization function on the probability map information. The one or more objects are detected from a second set of sub-images of the first set of sub-images, based on application of the neural network model on the second set of sub-images.
