METHODS FOR OBJECT LOCALIZATION AND IMAGE CLASSIFICATION

A method of training for image classification includes labelling a crop from an image including an object of interest. The crop may be labelled with an indication of whether the object of interest is framed, partially framed or not present in the crop. The method may also include assigning a fully framed class to the labelled crop, including the object of interest, if the object of interest is framed. A labelled crop may be assigned a partially framed class if the object of interest is partially framed. A background class may be assigned to a labelled crop if the object of interest is not present in the crop.
