Side window detection through use of spatial probability maps
First Claim
1. A method for detecting a side window of a vehicle, said method comprising:
- calculating a spatial probability map that includes data indicative of likely side window locations of a vehicle in an image;
running a side window detector with respect to said image of said vehicle to determine a plurality of detection scores;
weighting said plurality of detection scores based on said spatial probability map;
extracting a detected region from said image as extracted patch of said image; and
performing an image classification with respect to said extracted patch to provide a classification that indicates whether or not a passenger is in a rear seat of said vehicle or no-passenger is in said rear seat of said vehicle.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and processor-readable media for detecting the side window of a vehicle. A spatial probability map can be calculated, which includes data indicative of likely side window locations of a vehicle in an image. A side window detector can be run with respect to the image of the vehicle to determine detection scores. The detection scores can be weighted based on the spatial probability map. A detected region of interest can be extracted from the image as extracted image patch. An image classification can then be performed with respect to the extracted patch to provide a classification that indicates whether or not a passenger is in the vehicle or no-passenger is in the vehicle.
