Title
Strip features for fast object detection.
Abstract
This paper presents a set of effective and efficient features, namely strip features, for detecting objects in real-scene images. Although shapes of a specific class usually have large intraclass variance, some basic local shape elements are relatively stable. Based on this observation, we propose a set of strip features to describe the appearances of those shape elements. Strip features capture object shapes with edgelike and ridgelike strip patterns, which significantly enrich the efficient features such as Haar-like and edgelet features. The proposed features can be efficiently calculated via two kinds of approaches. Moreover, the proposed features can be extended to a perturbed version (namely, perturbed strip features) to alleviate the misalignment caused by deformations. We utilize strip features for object detection under an improved boosting framework, which adopts a complexity-aware criterion to balance the discriminability and efficiency for feature selection. We evaluate the proposed approach for object detection on the public data sets, and the experimental results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
