Abstract

Human detection is the first step for a number of applications such as smart video surveillance, driving assistance systems, and intelligent digital content management. It’s a challenging problem due to the variance of illumination, color, scale, pose, and so forth. This chapter reviews various aspects of human detection in static images and focuses on learning-based methods that build classifiers using training samples. There are usually three modules for these methods: feature extraction, classifier design, and merge of overlapping detections. The chapter reviews most existing methods for each module and analyzes their respective pros and cons. The contribution includes two aspects: first, the performance of existing feature sets on human detection are compared; second, a fast human detection system based on histogram of oriented gradients features and cascaded AdaBoost classifier is proposed. This chapter should be useful for both algorithm researchers and system designers in the computer vision and pattern recognition community.
