Strengthening the Effectiveness of Pedestrian Detection with Spatially Pooled Features
We propose a simple yet effective approach to the problem of pedestrian
detection which outperforms the current state-of-the-art. Our new features are
built on the basis of low-level visual features and spatial pooling.
Incorporating spatial pooling improves the translational invariance and thus
the robustness of the detection process. We then directly optimise the partial
area under the ROC curve (\pAUC) measure, which concentrates detection
performance in the range of most practical importance. The combination of these
factors leads to a pedestrian detector which outperforms all competitors on all
of the standard benchmark datasets. We advance state-of-the-art results by
lowering the average miss rate from to on the INRIA benchmark,
to on the ETH benchmark, to on the TUD-Brussels
benchmark and to on the Caltech-USA benchmark.Comment: 16 pages. Appearing in Proc. European Conf. Computer Vision (ECCV)
