In recent years, the need for object detection has significantly increased for multi-camera systems. However, the detection methods in such systems incur high computational cost, which leads to a major challenge in real-time applications. In this work, we propose a Scissor Algorithm for object detection using a multi-core CPU and a graphic processing unit (GPU). Leveraging the features of both the CPU and the GPU, the object detection method was enhanced in two stages: (a) pixel-to-pixel color filtering and (b) grouping. The proposed algorithm can effectively shrink the search area for detection and further improve the process of detection, thus effectively increasing the frame rate for real-time applications. Experimental results demonstrate the real-time performance of the proposed algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
