Pedestrian detection using hybrid statistical feature
A novel approach for walking people detection is proposed in this paper, which is inspired by the idea of gait energy image (GEI). Unlike most of common human detection methods where usually a trained detector scans a single image and then generates a detection result, the proposed method detects people on a sequence of silhouettes which contain both appearance characteristics and motion characteristics. Thus, our method is more robust. Encouraging experimental results are obtained based on CASIA gait database and the additional non-human objects data.
