US Patent 10262218 Simultaneous object detection and rigid transform estimation using neural network

A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for object detection are provided. The apparatus may determine a regression vector using a neural network based on an input image that contains an object. The object may have a planar surface with a known shape. The apparatus may derive a transform matrix based on the regression vector. The apparatus may identify a precise boundary of the object based on the transform matrix. The precise boundary of the object may include a plurality of vertices of the object. To identify the boundary of the object, the apparatus may apply the transform matrix to a determined shape of the object.
