Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting target object(s) within image(s) based on selective template matching. More specifically, the systems and methods relate to template generation, selection and matching based on the identification of regions of interest within image(s). Training images showing target object(s) can be obtained and regions of interest that are deemed more likely to contain part(s) of the target object can be identified based on the training images. Subsequent to the identification of regions of interest, templates for target object detection can be generated based thereon. Templates can be applied on testing images. Based on the test application of templates, a subgroup of templates can be selected to serve as a basis for target object detection in subsequent images.
