Efficient Pedestrian Detection Using Multi-Scale HOG Features with Low Computational Complexity

Abstract

In this paper, an efficient method to reduce computational complexity for pedestrian detection is presented. Since trilinear interpolation is not used, the amount of required operations for histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) feature calculation is significantly reduced. By calculating multi-scale HOG features with integral HOG in a two-stage approach, both high detection rate and speed are achieved in the proposed method.
