US Patent 11967140 System and method for vehicle wheel detection

A system and method for vehicle wheel detection is disclosed. A particular embodiment can be configured to: receive training image data from a training image data collection system; obtain ground truth data corresponding to the training image data; perform a training phase to train one or more classifiers for processing images of the training image data to detect vehicle wheel objects in the images of the training image data; receive operational image data from an image data collection system associated with an autonomous vehicle; and perform an operational phase including applying the trained one or more classifiers to extract vehicle wheel objects from the operational image data and produce vehicle wheel object data.
