The present invention discloses an object detection method and an object detecting means that combines an image acquisition step of acquiring an image including the target object and a layered image generating step of generating a plurality of hierarchical images.
The present invention discloses an object detecting method and an object detecting means. Object detection method comprising: an image acquisition step of acquiring an image including the target object; layered image generating step of generating a plurality of hierarchical images by said image zoom in to a plurality of different scale and / or reduction; a first detector step, as a first detection region from each of at least a portion of said hierarchical image region detection target object; selecting step of selecting the layered image based on the detected first detection area learning data learned in advance and at least layer; a second detecting step of detecting a target object in the selected hierarchical image region as at least part of the second detection zone; and a synthesis step of a first detected in the detection step and a detection result of second detecting step of detecting a detection result of the synthesis.
