Title
Adaptive pedestrian detection by predicting classifier
Abstract
Generally the performance of a pedestrian detector will decrease rapidly, when it is trained on a fixed training set but applied to specific scenes. The reason is that in the training set only a few samples are useful for the specific scenes while other samples may disturb the accurate detections. Traditional methods solve this problem by transfer learning which suffer the problem of keeping source samples or artificially labeling a few samples in the detection phase. In this paper, we propose a new method to bypass these defects by predicting pedestrian classifier for each sample in the detection phase. A classifier regression model is trained in the source domain in which each sample has a proprietary classifier. In the detection phase, a pedestrian classifier is predicted for each candidate window in an image. Thus, for the samples in the target domain, the pedestrian classifiers are different. Our main contributions are: (1) a new adaptive detector without keeping source samples or labeling a few new target samples; (2) a new dimensionality reduction method for classifier vector which simultaneously ensures the performance of both reconstruction and classification; (3) a two-stage regression neural model which can handle the high-dimensional regression problem effectively. Experiments prove that our method can achieve the state-of-the-art results on two pedestrian datasets.
