Trainable classifier-fusion schemes: An application to pedestrian detection

Abstract

This work proposes a novel classifier-fusion scheme using learning algorithms, i.e. syntactic models, instead of the usual Bayesian or heuristic rules. Moreover, this paper complements the previous comparative studies on DaimlerChrysler Automotive Dataset, offering a set of complementary experiments using feature extractor and classifier combinations. The experimental results provide evidence of the effectiveness of our methods regarding false positive rate, AUC, and accuracy, which reached 96.67%.
