METHOD OF OBJECT DETECTION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G01S17/06 

FIELD: automatics.

SUBSTANCE: high efficiency method of object detection is developed. It includes preliminary detection of object search zones, image scanning with the help of scanning window within the limits of the search zones, the size of the scanning window corresponds to the size of an object's image, quantity determination of amplitude intervals N by the square of the scanning window, taking into account the most significant amplitude intervals and choosing the coordinates with maximum value N as the coordinates of the object. The claimed invention increase probability of correct object detection within lower contrasts range of the object and higher contrast range of background.

EFFECT: exclusion of false object detection, which is determined by contrast jump in brightness of stretched background, as well as background which is alike to the object and has smaller size than one of the scanning window.
