Abstract

In the field of visual surveillance, pedestrian detection can be used in many situations, which is concerned by many researchers. In order to solve the problem of partial occlusion, a pedestrian detection method based on head-shoulders features is proposed. Firstly, the location of pedestrian can be obtained roughly by using vertical and horizontal projection characteristics of the foreground pixels in the slid windows combined with AdaBoost classifier. Secondly, we can obtain the head-shoulders content correctly by using the histogram of edge orient gradient characteristics combined with SVM. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is effective to solve partial occlusion problem.
