NON-MAXIMUM SUPPRESSION OF FEATURES FOR OBJECT DETECTION

Embodiments are generally directed to non-maximum suppression of features for object detection. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a central processing unit (CPU); a graphical processing unit (GPU), the GPU being capable of a plurality of processing threads; a memory to store data for object detection, including data for detected features within an image; and an object detection algorithm including a non-maximum suppression element. The object detection algorithm is to provide for non-maximum suppression of features that are detected in an image, including the apparatus to divide the image into grid of cells and to provide parallel processing for each feature according to each of one or more cells the feature is located within.
