LONG-TERM STATIC OBJECT DETECTION
First Claim
1. A method for static object detection, the method comprising:
- detecting an object that is present in at least one image of a set of images, wherein the set of images correspond to a time period;
identifying a set of corner points for the detected object;
tracking the object'"'"'s presence in the set of images over the time period, wherein the object'"'"'s presence is determined by matching the set of images to a template generated based on the identified corner points; and
identifying the object as a static object when an amount of time corresponding to the object'"'"'s presence in the set of images is greater than a predefined threshold;
wherein at least the tracking is performed by computer software running on computer hardware.

Abstract
Software for static object detection that performs the following operations: (i) detecting an object that is present in at least one image of a set of images, wherein the set of images correspond to a time period; (ii) identifying a set of corner points for the detected object; (iii) tracking the object'"'"'s presence in the set of images over the time period, wherein the object'"'"'s presence is determined by matching the set of images to a template generated based on the identified corner points; and (iv) identifying the object as a static object when an amount of time corresponding to the object'"'"'s presence in the set of images is greater than a predefined threshold.

8. A computer program product for static object detection, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon:
-
first instructions executable by a device to cause the device to detect an object that is present in at least one image of a set of images, wherein the set of images correspond to a time period; second instructions executable by the device to cause the device to identify a set of corner points for the detected object; third instructions executable by the device to cause the device to track the object'"'"'s presence in the set of images over the time period, wherein the object'"'"'s presence is determined by matching the set of images to a template generated based on the identified corner points; and fourth instructions executable by the device to cause the device to identify the object as a static object when an amount of time corresponding to the object'"'"'s presence in the set of images is greater than a predefined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
