Detection-by-Classification from Multiple Views


In order to avoid performing background subtraction, which can be very sensitive to image quality and misses discriminative capability, we perform people detection in the image plan directly.



Overview of our detection-by-classification method.

We train a decision tree to correctly classify windows containing a pedestrian. As illustrated in the figure above, we then apply the classifier in each camera view independently at every possible position of the ground plane. We thus obtain as many score maps as there are cameras, that we then merge using our 3D knowledge of the scene, as well as the model of the classifier answer. We finally obtain an occupancy map, similar to the one derived with our people detection algorithm, but without the need of using background subtraction.
