Context-Aware Model Applied to Hog Descriptor for People Detection

International audience; This work proposes and implements a method based on Context-Aware Visual Attention Model (CAVAM), but modifying the method in such way that the detection algorithm is replaced by Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG). After reviewing different algorithms for people detection, we select HOG method because it is a very well known algorithm, which is used as a reference in virtually all current research studies about automatic detection. In addition, it produces accurate results in significantly less time than many algorithms. In this way, we show that CAVAM model can be adapted to other methods for object detection besides Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), as …
