Object detection with modified image background
An embodiment of a semiconductor package apparatus may include technology to pre-process an image to simplify a background of the image, and perform object detection on the pre-processed image with the simplified background. For example, an embodiment of a semiconductor package may include technology to pre-process an image to subtract the background from the image and perform object detection on the pre-processed image with the background subtracted. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor;
a machine-readable storage storing instructions, the instructions executable by the at least one processor to perform:
process a source image to identify a background image in the source image;
modify a portion of the identified background image;
detect at least one foreground image based on the modified portion of the identified background image; and
identify at least one object in the detected at least one foreground image;
an antenna coupled to the at least one processor;
a wireless radio device coupled to the at least one processor; and
a battery device coupled to the at least one processor.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the modify the portion of the identified background image comprises modify the portion of the identified background image to a uniform color.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the modify the portion of the identified background image comprises modify the portion of the identified background image to a gray color.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the identify at least one object in the detected at least one foreground image comprises identify at least one object in the detected at least one foreground image based on a single shot detector model.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the process the source image to identify a background image in the source image comprises identify a portion of a background image from the source image based on a trained neural network.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor comprises one or more of: a microprocessor, central processing unit (CPU), or graphics processing unit (GPU).
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising:
a touch input device coupled to the at least one processor.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising:
a memory device coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the memory device is to store the machine-readable storage storing instructions.
