Method, system and computer program product for identifying locations of detected objects
First Claim
1. A method performed by at least one device for enhancing accuracy in identifying locations of detected objects within an image, the method comprising:
- detecting a first object within the image, wherein the first object includes pixel columns;
fitting an equation to respective depths of the pixel columns, and determining whether a fit is sufficient between the equation and the respective depths of the pixel columns; and
in response to determining that the fit is insufficient between the equation and more than a threshold number of the respective depths of consecutive pixel columns, splitting the first object into at least second and third objects, wherein the second object includes the consecutive pixel columns.

Abstract
First and second objects are detected within an image. The first object includes first pixel columns, and the second object includes second pixel columns. A rightmost one of the first pixel columns is adjacent to a leftmost one of the second pixel columns. A first equation is fitted to respective depths of the first pixel columns, and a first depth is computed of the rightmost one of the first pixel columns in response to the first equation. A second equation is fitted to respective depths of the second pixel columns, and a second depth is computed of the leftmost one of the second pixel columns in response to the second equation. The first and second objects are merged in response to the first and second depths being sufficiently similar to one another, and in response to the first and second equations being sufficiently similar to one another.
