Pedestrian Detection Based on Bag-of-Visual-Words and SVM method

We propose a pedestrian detection approach based on bag-of-visual-words and SVM method. The image feature extraction and representation are extremely challenging tasks in pedestrian detection approach, which could impact the performance of pedestrian detection. In this paper, we propose that visual vocabulary is built by clustering SIFT features of image to visual words. Classification is taken using the support vector machine (SVM), for SVM having good non-linear function learning and generalization capability solid. Numerical experiments in the evaluation of INRIATREC pedestrian data sets and the action movies demonstrate that our method shows better performance.
