In some examples, systems and methods for user-assisted object detection are provided. For example, a method includes: receiving an input image, and performing object detection by a software detector to identify a set of detected objects. The software detector includes a machine-learning model. The method further includes outputting one or more indicators of the set of detected objects. Each detected object in the set of detected objects is associated with a confidence level. The method further includes receiving a user input; identifying a template including an image portion associated with the user input; determining a similarity metric between the template and an object in the set of detected objects; modifying a confidence level of the object based at least in part on the determined similarity metric; and generating an output including an indicator of the object based at least in part on the modified confidence level.
