Multispectral Deep Neural Networks for Pedestrian Detection
Multispectral pedestrian detection is essential for around-the-clock
applications, e.g., surveillance and autonomous driving. We deeply analyze
Faster R-CNN for multispectral pedestrian detection task and then model it into
a convolutional network (ConvNet) fusion problem. Further, we discover that
ConvNet-based pedestrian detectors trained by color or thermal images
separately provide complementary information in discriminating human instances.
Thus there is a large potential to improve pedestrian detection by using color
and thermal images in DNNs simultaneously. We carefully design four ConvNet
fusion architectures that integrate two-branch ConvNets on different DNNs
stages, all of which yield better performance compared with the baseline
detector. Our experimental results on KAIST pedestrian benchmark show that the
Halfway Fusion model that performs fusion on the middle-level convolutional
features outperforms the baseline method by 11% and yields a missing rate 3.5%
lower than the other proposed architectures.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, BMVC 2016 ora
Pedestrian Attribute Recognition: A Survey
Recognizing pedestrian attributes is an important task in computer vision
community due to it plays an important role in video surveillance. Many
algorithms has been proposed to handle this task. The goal of this paper is to
review existing works using traditional methods or based on deep learning
networks. Firstly, we introduce the background of pedestrian attributes
recognition (PAR, for short), including the fundamental concepts of pedestrian
attributes and corresponding challenges. Secondly, we introduce existing
benchmarks, including popular datasets and evaluation criterion. Thirdly, we
analyse the concept of multi-task learning and multi-label learning, and also
explain the relations between these two learning algorithms and pedestrian
attribute recognition. We also review some popular network architectures which
have widely applied in the deep learning community. Fourthly, we analyse
popular solutions for this task, such as attributes group, part-based,
\emph{etc}. Fifthly, we shown some applications which takes pedestrian
attributes into consideration and achieve better performance. Finally, we
summarized this paper and give several possible research directions for
pedestrian attributes recognition. The project page of this paper can be found
