Abstract:To improve the accuracy of pedestrain detection, an ensemble approach for pedestrian detection in still images is proposed. Firstly, a partition ensemble method is used to evenly split the entire training window to get small regions, and features of small regions are extracted. Then, the AdaBoost classifiers are trained on different regions to get part classifiers. A global classifier is formed by weighted summing of these part classifiers. More global classifiers are obtained by using different partitioning methods to repeat the process. To improve detection results and achieve better performance, two global classifiers are built by using histograms of oriented gradient, and multi-level version of HOG descriptor features respectively for each partitioning method. The classifier ensemble is used to detect new images and the weighted voting method is used to decide the final results. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better performance than the whole window detector on INRIA dataset.
