RULE-BASED COMBINATION OF A HIERARCHY OF CLASSIFIERS FOR OCCLUSION DETECTION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An occlusion detection system, comprising:
- a decomposer configured to decompose an image into a set of hierarchical parts;
a hierarchy of classifiers employed to detect features in the image and the hierarchical parts; and
at least one logical operation configured to logically combine a classification result from at least two of the classifiers to detect an occlusion state of the image.

Abstract
An occlusion detection system and method include a decomposer configured to decompose an image into a set of hierarchical parts. A hierarchy of classifiers is employed to detect features in the image and the hierarchical parts. A logical operation is configured to logically combine a classification result from at least two of the classifiers to detect an occlusion state of the image.

11. A person detection system, comprising:
-
a face detector configured to detect a face in an input video sequence, the face detector outputting a face keyframe to be stored if a face is detected; a person detector configured to detect a person in the input video sequence if the face detector fails to detect a face, the person detector outputting a person keyframe to be stored, if a person is detected in the input video sequence. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

34. A computer program product for occlusion detection comprising a computer useable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
-
decomposing an image into a set of hierarchical parts; detecting features in the image and the hierarchical parts using a hierarchy of classifiers; and logically combining classification results from at least two of the classifiers to detect an occlusion state of the image.
