Abstract

In this paper, we propose a fast and accurate system for detecting pedestrians from a static image. Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) is a well-known feature for pedestrian detection systems but extracting HOG is expensive due to its high dimensional vector. It will cause long processing time and large memory consumption in case of making a pedestrian detection system on high resolution image or video. In order to deal with this problem, we use Principal Components Analysis (PCA) technique to reduce the dimensionality of HOG. The output of PCA will be input for a linear SVM classifier for learning and testing. The experiment results showed that our proposed method reduces processing time but still maintains the similar detection rate. We got twenty five times faster than original HOG feature.
