System and method for object detection

Global-to-local object detection systems that pinpoint parts after coarse scene detection are now expiring soon.

What it is

The method first runs a global object detector to identify coarse object regions in an image, then crops or selects portions of those regions for a local detector to find finer-grained parts. This two-stage pipeline improves precision by focusing local analysis on targeted subregions instead of processing the entire scene at full resolution. Previously, deploying this specific approach could require licensing from Carrier Fire and Security Corp due to protected implementation details in the patent.

What you could build

Build camera-based safety analytics for perimeter intrusion and fire-risk monitoring that detects both persons and critical equipment details.
