This paper presents a novel approach in pedestrian detection in static images. The state-of-art feature named Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) [1] is adopted as the basic feature which we modify and create a new feature using boosting algorithm. The detection is achieved by training a linear SVM with the boosted HOG feature. We experimentally demonstrate that our solution achieve comparable performance as the HOG algorithm on the INRIA pedestrian dataset yet considerably reduce storage requirement and simplify the computation in terms of elementary operations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
