Abstract
Embodiments may provide improved techniques for object detection so as to improve the finding of objects and the accuracy of the boundary predictions using parametric curves defined by multiple control points. For example, in an embodiment, a method may be implemented in a computer system comprising a processor, memory accessible by the processor, and computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the method may comprise receiving an image, extracting from the image a plurality of features related to objects shown in the image, generating, from the extracted features, at least one plurality of points representing a parametric curve bounding an object shown in the image; and outputting the plurality of points representing the parametric curve.
