Abstract

This paper presents a object detection method basedon local kernels. The local kernels are arranged to allpositions on recognition target and are selected automaticallyby using Kullback-Leibler divergence accordingto the recognition target. The proposed methodis applied to pedestrian detection problem. The performanceof the proposed method is evaluated by theexperiment using MIT CBCL pedestrian database. Itis confirmed that generalization ability of the proposedmethod is improved by selecting the local kernels automatically.
