Abstract
A camera system comprises an image capturing device and an object classification module connected to the image capturing device. The image capturing device has a field of view and produces image data representing an image of the field of view. The object classification module is operable to determine whether an object in an image is a member of an object class. The object classification module includes N decision steps configured in a cascade configuration, wherein at least one of the N decision steps is operable to (a) accept an object as a member of the object class, (b) reject an object as a member of the object class, and (c) call on a next step to determine whether an object is a member of the object class.
