Abstract

Online learning for object detection is an important requirement for many computer vision applications. In this paper, we present an iterative optimization algorithm that learns separable linear classifiers from a sample of positive and negative example images. We demonstrate that separability not only leads to rapid runtime behavior but enables very fast training. Experimental results underline that the approach even allows for real time online learning for tracking of articulated objects in real world environments.
