摘要
As the pedestrian detection with vehicle-mounted far-infrared monocular sensor using machine learning is usually poor in real-time performance and precision, a head-histogram of oriented gradient-support vector machine (Head-HOG-SVM) approach based on edge segmentation is proposed. The weighted Sobel operator is adopted to enhance the vertical edges of pedestrians in the regions of interest (ROIs). Several pedestrian detection methods are selected according to the pedestrian appearance in different distance. A head feature is used to detect pedestrians at near and middle distance to improve the real-time performance of the system, and a HOG-SVM classifier cascading with head recognition is used to detect blurred pedestrians at far distance. Experimental results on the several videos captured from suburb scenes show that, in comparison with the HOG-SVM classifier based on dual threshold segmentation, the precision and detection rate of the proposed method are respectively increased by 33% and 200%. ©, 2015, South China University of Technology.
