Abstract
A method of object detection in paired imaging includes detecting areas of interest for each image of a set of multi-view images, each detected area of interest having a corresponding initial probability of being an area of interest; determining a matching probability for each detected area of interest across the set of multi-view images such that detected areas of interest from one image of the set of multi-view images are assigned matching probabilities with respect to detected areas of interest of other images of the set of multi-view images; generating a modified probability for each detected area of interest according to one or more object-specific weighting factors and one or more of the matching probabilities for that detected area of interest; adjusting the initial probability of each detected area of interest using the modified probability to generate a refined probability for each detected area of interest; and identifying the detected areas of interest in each image that have refined probabilities that meet a minimum threshold probability.
