Deep neural networks are the leading solution to the object detection problem. However, challenges arise when applying these networks to the kind of real-time, first-person video data that a robotic platform must process: specifically, detections may not be consistent from frame to frame, and objects may frequently appear at viewpoints that are particularly challenging for the model, resulting in ...
