Below is a MATLAB/C++ implementation of a pedestrian detector trained on the INRIA Person dataset. Features are based on pyramid HOG features and classification is done using the piecewise linear approximation as described in the paper below:

• Final Pedestrian Detector ped_detector_RELEASE.tar.gz
  
  • code is written in MATLAB/C
  • PHOG features + IKSVM classification using piecewise linear approximation.
  • returns non-max supressed bounding boxes.
  • takes about 6-7 seconds on a typical 400x600 image for 10,000 scanning windows. 90% of the time is spent on feature computation.
• INRIA Person dataset benchmarking code inria-benchmark-RELEASE.tar.gz
  Testing is done using the PASCAL criterion which counts a detection to be correct if the overlap (intersection over union) of the detected and groundtruth bounding box is greater than 0.5. We run the detector on the INRIA Test images (both positive and negative). The detection plots are shown below.

  

• Benchmarking on precropped positive images can lead to overfitting because of boundary artifacts. We found that our previous curves on recall vs. false positives per window were artificially improved because of this. The new curves are shown below
