Object detection using reinforcement learning in computer vision
The granted patent US12067644B2 outlines a computer vision system and method for object detection utilizing reinforcement learning. The system comprises a memory that stores images and a processor that interacts with this memory. Key functionalities include setting reinforcement learning parameters, detecting target objects within images, and determining bounding boxes around these objects. The system enhances the detection process by performing reinforcement learning on the image portions within the bounding boxes, allowing for adjustments based on positive feedback received by the learning agent. The claims also detail various configurations for the bounding boxes, including options for magnification, centering, and splitting when multiple objects are detected.
Additionally, the patent describes methods for refining the bounding box based on the detected objects and their characteristics. The processor can select specific aspect ratios and sizes for the bounding boxes and can oppose movements in response to triggering actions. The system is designed to be trained on both single and multiple class object categories, enabling it to adaptively learn and initiate actions based on the presence of various objects in the images. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to improving object detection in computer vision through reinforcement learning techniques.
