Pedestrian detection is one of the critical benchmarks for object detection in computer vision. In recent years, more effective detectors and features, such as Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) have been proposed. The process of HOG features calculation is slow, and the features cannot satisfy represent the human body. Therefore, we adopt the multi-channel features, and propose a new improved method for accelerated integral image, the execution time of which is less than the original method. In addition, we apply novel multi-scales detection to detect new scenario, which is based on the low-altitude UAV. Under such scenario our algorithm can handle the changing in pedestrian posture and occlusion cues. The experimental results indicate that our algorithm is rapid and efficient under dynamic camera, comparing with other methods in INRIA dataset.

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.

The effect of geological modeling largely depends on the normal estimation results of geological sampling points. However, due to the sparse and uneven characteristics of geological sampling points, the results of normal estimation have great uncertainty. This paper proposes a geological modeling method based on the dynamic normal estimation of sparse point clouds. The improved method consists of three stages: (1) using an improved local plane fitting method to estimate the normals of the point clouds; (2) using an improved minimum spanning tree method to redirect the normals of the point clouds; (3) using an implicit function to construct a geological model. The innovation of this method is an iterative estimation of the point cloud normal. The geological engineer adjusts the normal direction of some point clouds according to the geological law, and then the method uses these correct point cloud normals as a reference to estimate the normals of all point clouds. By continuously repeating the iterative process, the normal estimation result will be more accurate. Experimental results show that compared with the original method, the improved method is more suitable for the normal estimation of sparse point clouds by adjusting normals, according to prior knowledge, dynamically.

Pedestrian detection with large intraclass variations is still a challenging task in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a novel pedestrian detection method based on Random Forest. Firstly, we generate a few local templates with different sizes and different locations in positive exemplars. Then, the Random Forest is built whose splitting functions are optimized by maximizing class purity of matching the local templates to the training samples, respectively. To improve the classification accuracy, we adopt a boosting-like algorithm to update the weights of the training samples in a layer-wise fashion. During detection, the trained Random Forest will vote the category when a sliding window is input. Our contributions are the splitting functions based on local template matching with adaptive size and location and iteratively weight updating method. We evaluate the proposed method on 2 well-known challenging datasets: TUD pedestrians and INRIA pedestrians. The experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art or competitive performance.

To locate pedestrian faster and more accurately, a pedestrian detection method based on histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) in region of interest (ROI) is introduced. The features are extracted in the ROI where the pedestrian's legs may exist, which is helpful to decrease the dimension of feature vector and simplify the calculation. Then the vertical edge symmetry of pedestrian's legs is fused to confirm the detection. Experimental results indicate that this method can achieve an ideal accuracy with lower process time compared to traditional method.

Information Technology does help people to get information promptly anytime and anywhere. Unfortunately, the information gathered from the Internet does not always come out positive. Some information can be destructive, such as porn images. To mitigate this problem, the study aims to create a desktop application that could detect parts of human body which can be expanded in the future to become an image filter application for pornography. The detection methodology in this study is Viola-Jones method which provides a complete framework for extracting and recognizing image features. A combination of Viola-Jones method with Haar-like features, integral image, boosting algorithm, and cascade classifier provide a robust detector for the application. First, several parts of the human body are chosen to be detected as the data training using the Viola-Jones method. Then, another set of images (similar body parts but different images) are run through the application to be recognized. The result shows 86.25% of successful detection. The failures are identified and show that the inputted data are completely different with the data training.

The purpose of this work is to develop computational intelligence models based on neural networks (NN), fuzzy models (FM), support vector machines (SVM) and long short-term memory networks (LSTM) to predict human pose and activity from image sequences, based on computer vision approaches to gather the required features. To obtain the human pose semantics (output classes), based on a set of 3D points that describe the human body model (the input variables of the predictive model), prediction models were obtained from the acquired data, for example, video images. In the same way, to predict the semantics of the atomic activities that compose an activity, based again in the human body model extracted at each video frame, prediction models were learned using LSTM networks. In both cases the best learned models were implemented in an application to test the systems. The SVM model obtained 95.97% of correct classification of the six different human poses tackled in this work, during tests in different situations from the training phase. The implemented LSTM learned model achieved an overall accuracy of 88%, during tests in different situations from the training phase. These results demonstrate the validity of both approaches to predict human pose and activity from image sequences. Moreover, the system is capable of obtaining the atomic activities and quantifying the time interval in which each activity takes place.
