Abstract

In one example, a method for exiting an object detection pipeline includes determining, while in the object detection pipeline, a number of features within a first tile of an image, wherein the image consists of a plurality of tiles, performing a matching procedure using at least a subset of the features within the first tile if the number of features within the first tile meets a threshold value, exiting the object detection pipeline if a result of the matching procedure indicates an object is recognized in the image, and presenting the result of the matching procedure.
