IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18621158 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that uses tracking and detection techniques to determine if a target image is in a lost state where the tracking target cannot be specified.

  • Acquires likelihoods of tracking targets in first and second candidates in a target image using tracking and detection techniques.
  • Generates a determination reference based on the acquired information to identify a lost state.
  • Determines if the target image is in a lost state using the determination reference.

Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Autonomous vehicles - Robotics - Medical imaging - Augmented reality

Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus comprising one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors that execute the instructions to acquire first information including likelihoods of tracking targets in a plurality of first candidates of the tracking target in a target image by using a tracking technique for tracking an object in an image, acquire second information including likelihoods of tracking targets in a plurality of second candidates of the tracking target in the target image by using a detection technique for detecting an object in an image, generate a determination reference for determining, based on the first information and the second information, whether a state is a lost state in which it is not possible to specify a tracking target, and determine, using the determination reference, whether the target image is set in a lost state.
