The Human Detection Problem • Humans have extremities that have a wide range of motion. • Humans can adopt different poses and have variable appearances. • A lot harder than detecting objects which have a fixed shape.
Overview • Based on evaluating well-normalized local histograms of image gradient orientations in a dense grid. • The image is divided into small spatial regions • For each cell get a histogram of gradient directions or edge orientations and Contrast normalize blocks of these cells. • This captures edge or gradient structure that is very characteristic of the local shape. • Translations of rotations make little difference if they are smaller than the local orientation bin size.
