"Haar"-based Detectors For Pedestrian Detection
===============================================
by Hannes Kruppa and Bernt Schiele, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
This archive provides the following three detectors:
- upper body detector (most fun, useful in many scenarios!)
- lower body detector
- full body detector
These detectors have been successfully applied to pedestrian detection
in still images. They can be directly passed as parameters to the
program HaarFaceDetect.
NOTE: These detectors deal with frontal and backside views but not
with side views (also see "Known limitations" below).
RESEARCHERS:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
======================
Check out the demo movie, e.g. using mplayer or any (Windows/Linux-) player
that can play back .mpg movies.
Under Linux that's:
> ffplay demo.mpg
or:
> mplayer demo.mpg
The movie shows a person walking towards the camera in a realistic
indoor setting. Using ffplay or mplayer you can pause and continue the
movie by pressing the space bar.
Detections coming from the different detectors are visualized using
different line styles:
upper body : dotted line
lower body : dashed line
full body : solid line
You will notice that successful detections containing the target do
not sit tightly on the body but also include some of the background
left and right. This is not a bug but accurately reflects the
employed training data which also includes portions of the background
to ensure proper silhouette representation. If you want to get a
feeling for the training data check out the CBCL data set:
http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/cbcl/software-datasets/PedestrianData.html
There is also a small number of false alarms in this sequence.
NOTE: This is per frame detection, not tracking (which is also one of
the reasons why it is not mislead by the person's shadow on the back
wall).
On an Intel Xeon 1.7GHz machine the detectors operate at something
between 6Hz to 14 Hz (on 352 x 288 frames per second) depending on the
detector. The detectors work as well on much lower image resolutions
which is always an interesting possibility for speed-ups or
"coarse-to-fine" search strategies.
Additional information e.g. on training parameters, detector
combination, detecting other types of objects (e.g. cars) etc. is
available in my PhD thesis report (available end of June). Check out
www.vision.ethz.ch/kruppa/
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
==================
1) The detectors only support frontal and back views but not sideviews.
Sideviews are trickier and it makes a lot of sense to include additional
modalities for their detection, e.g. motion information. I recommend
Viola and Jones' ICCV 2003 paper if this further interests you.
2) Don't expect these detectors to be as accurate as a frontal face detector.
A frontal face as a pattern is pretty distinct with respect to other
patterns occurring in the world (i.e. image "background"). This is not so
for upper, lower and especially full bodies, because they have to rely
on fragile silhouette information rather than internal (facial) features.
Still, we found especially the upper body detector to perform amazingly well.
In contrast to a face detector these detectors will also work at very low
image resolutions
