Abstract
A computing device segments an image into a plurality of segments, wherein each segment of the plurality of segments has a segment location and a set of pixels that share visual characteristics. The computing device determines an initial set of bounding boxes for the image based on the plurality of segments. The computing device determines a reduced set of bounding boxes based on combining bounding boxes of the initial set of bounding boxes, the reduced set of bounding boxes corresponding to one or more objects in the image, each of the one or more objects having an object class and an object location.
