Abstract
A method for determining objects of interest using a vehicular vision system includes providing at least one camera and providing a control having an image processor that processes image data captured by the camera. An object present in the field of view of the camera is detected via processing at the control of a first frame of captured image data. Hypotheses filtering and hypotheses merging may be utilized when processing additional frames of captured image data to discern the detected object being an object of interest from the detected object being not an object of interest. Hypotheses filtering includes tracking the detected object over multiple additional frames of captured image data, and hypotheses merging includes comparing outputs of hypotheses filtering for the multiple additional frames of captured image data. The detected object may be determined to be an object of interest responsive to results of hypotheses merging.
