Abstract:
Ten years have passed since the iconic Viola&Jones was first used over
pedestrians. What have we learned since then ? In this talk, we will discuss the
insights and lessons obtained by reviewing the 40+ detectors currently present
in the Caltech pedestrian detection benchmark. We will point out the strategies
that have paid-off, and discuss the ones that still have to show their promise.
We will also present studies regarding the complementarity amongst existing
approaches, and report the current best known performance on the challenging
Caltech-USA dataset.
