This paper presents novel pedestrian detection approach in video streaming, which could process frames rapidly. The method is based on cascades of HOG-LBP (Histograms of Oriented Gradients-Local Binary Pattern), but combines non-negative factorization to reduce the length of the feature, aiming at realizing a more efficient way of detection, remedying the slowness of the original method. Experiments show our method can process faster than HOG and HOG-LBP, and more accurate than HOG, which has better performance in pedestrian detection in video streaming.

In view of the issue of the mechanism for enhancing the neighbourhood relationship of blocks of HOG, this paper proposes neighborhood descriptor of oriented gradients (NDOG), an improved feature descriptor based on HOG, for pedestrian detection. To obtain the NDOG feature vector, the algorithm calculates the local weight vector of the HOG feature descriptor, while integrating spatial correlation among blocks, concatenates this weight vector to the tail of the HOG feature descriptor, and uses the gradient norm to normalize this new feature vector. With the proposed NDOG feature vector along with a linear SVM classifier, this paper develops a complete pedestrian detection approach. Experimental results for the INRIA, Caltech-USA, and ETH pedestrian datasets show that the approach achieves a lower miss rate and a higher average precision compared with HOG and other advanced methods for pedestrian detection especially in the case of insufficient training samples.

Significant progress has been achieved in the past few years for the challenging task of pedestrian detection. Nevertheless, a major bottleneck of existing state-of-the-art approaches lies in a great drop in performance with reducing resolutions of the detected targets. For the boosting-based detectors which are popular in pedestrian detection literature, a possible cause for this drop is that in their boosting training process, low-resolution samples, which are usually more difficult to be detected due to the missing details, are still treated equally importantly as high-resolution samples, resulting in the false negatives since they are more easily rejected in the early stages and can hardly be recovered in the late stages. To address this problem, we propose in this paper a robust multi-resolution detection approach with a novel group cost-sensitive boosting algorithm, which is derived from the standard AdaBoost algorithm to further explore different costs for different resolution groups of the samples in the boosting process, and to place greater emphasis on low-resolution groups in order to better handle the detection of multi-resolution targets. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated on the Caltech pedestrian benchmark and KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) multispectral pedestrian benchmark, and validated by its promising performance on different resolution-specific test sets of both benchmarks.
