Abstract

Human detection is a classical challenging problem in computer vision. To achieve satisfied performance in human detection, both suitable feature representation and effective detector (often classifier) are indispensable. In this paper, we propose a method of boosted forest with harr-like features for human detection. The proposed detection method associates the random decision trees as weak learners within the framework of Adaboost. Accordingly, these random trees are dynamically combined into a strong classifier, i.e., a boosted forest. The boosting process avoids the blindness and casualness of the tree selection in typical random forest algorithm. Besides, potent features are estimated and chosen in the process. Experiments on PASCAL VOC 2008 dataset demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.
