Abstract

A method for acquiring a bounding box corresponding to an object is provided. The method includes steps of: (a) acquiring proposal boxes; (b) selecting specific proposal box among the proposal boxes by referring to (i) a result of comparing distance between a reference bounding box and the proposal boxes and/or (ii) a result of comparing score which indicates whether the proposal boxes includes the object, and then setting the specific proposal box as a starting area of a tracking box; (c) determining a specific area of the current frame as a target area of the tracking box by using the mean shift tracking algorithm; and (d) allowing a pooling layer to generate a pooled feature map by applying pooling operation to an area corresponding to the specific area and then allowing a FC layer to acquire a bounding box by applying regression operation to the pooled feature map.
