Abstract

Recent research has been devoted to detecting people in images and videos. In this paper, a human detection method based on Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HoG) features and human body ratio estimation is presented. We utilized the discriminative power of HoG features for human detection, and implemented motion detection and local regions sliding window classifier, to obtain a rich descriptor set. Our human detection system consists of two stages. The initial stage involves image preprocessing and image segmentation, whereas the second stage classifies the integral image as human or non-human using human body ratio estimation, local region sliding window method and HoG Human Descriptor. Subsequently, it increases the detection rate and reduces the false alarm by deducting the overlapping window. In our experiments, DaimlerChrysler pedestrian benchmark data set is used to train a standard descriptor and the results showed an overall detection rate of 80% above.
