Deep Poselets for Human Detection
We address the problem of detecting people in natural scenes using a part
approach based on poselets. We propose a bootstrapping method that allows us to
collect millions of weakly labeled examples for each poselet type. We use these
examples to train a Convolutional Neural Net to discriminate different poselet
types and separate them from the background class. We then use the trained CNN
as a way to represent poselet patches with a Pose Discriminative Feature (PDF)
vector -- a compact 256-dimensional feature vector that is effective at
discriminating pose from appearance. We train the poselet model on top of PDF
features and combine them with object-level CNNs for detection and bounding box
prediction. The resulting model leads to state-of-the-art performance for human
detection on the PASCAL datasets
