Pedestrian detection with HOG in region of leg. Computer Engineering and Applications, 2013, 49 （1）：217-221. Abstract ：In order to locate pedestrian ahead of vehicle faster and more accurately, this paper proposes a pedestrian detection method based on Histograms of Oriented Gradients （HOG ）of Region of Interest （ROI ）. The feature is extracted by Sobel masks in the ROI where the pedestrian ’s legs may exist, which is helpful to decrease the dimension of feature vector and simplify the calculation. Meanwhile, through the camera calibration only half image is scanned and the HOG features is constructed in blocks of the whole image. In this way, both the interference of complex background and the detection process are simplified significantly. Finally, multiple detection results are fused by an algorithm based on the symmetry of vertical edges of legs. Exper- imental results indicate that this method can achieve an effective accuracy with lower process time.
