In this paper, we propose a method for human detection using co-occurrence of Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features and color features. This method expresses the co-occurrence between HOG and color features by Adaboost and generates the combination of the features effective for the identification automatically. Color features were calculated by making histograms that quantized hue and saturation in local areas. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method by identification experiments for human and non-human images.

With the development of port automation, most operational fields utilizing heavy equipment have gradually become unmanned. It is therefore imperative to monitor these fields in an effective and real-time manner. In this paper, a fast human-detection algorithm is proposed based on image processing. To speed up the detection process, the optimized histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) algorithm that can avoid the large number of double calculations of the original HOG and ignore insignificant features is used to describe the contour of the human body in real time. Based on the HOG features, using a training sample set consisting of scene images of a bulk port, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier combined with the AdaBoost classifier is trained to detect human. Finally, the results of the human detection experiments on Tianjin Port show that the accuracy of the proposed optimized algorithm has roughly the same accuracy as a traditional algorithm, while the proposed algorithm only takes 1/7 the amount of time. The accuracy and computing time of the proposed fast human-detection algorithm were verified to meet the security requirements of unmanned port areas.


This paper was discussing about the human detection using SVM combining weighted least square-filter (WLS), histograms of oriented gradients (HOG). The combination of HOG and SVM is a powerful approach for human detection, as it uses local strength gradients; it is hard to handle noisy and foggy images. For removing of noise or fog from this type of images, we used weighted least square (WLS) filter, and then HOG and SVM algorithms are used for human detection. Due to deprived weather conditions such as fog and haze, the acquired images will exhibit damaged visibility. This can be occurred because of the presence of the suspended particles and scatter of light between objects and the camera. So the image improvement and renewal methods are used to improve the quality of an image which provide strong image in poor weather condition and can extract features from the images not only when they had illumination variations but also when they are degraded with fog. At last, detected objects can be categorized into predefined groups of humans and other objects by using SVM classifier
