A Combined Pedestrian Detection Method Based on Haar-Like Features and HOG Features

Abstract

Considering the simplicity and fast training speed of Haar-like features, the high detecting precision of HOG features, a combined method is proposed on the basis of the two features. Several rectangular features which can describe local human characteristics based on original features are added. The combined method can retain the precision of HOG features and increase the speed of detection at the same time. The experiments have shown this method can detect the pedestrians quickly and effectively with high precision.
