Abstract
This work gives the guidelines to develop a pedestrian detection system using a feature space based on colored level lines, called Movement Feature Space (MFS). Besides detecting the movement in the scene, this feature space defines the descriptors used by the classifiers to identify pedestrians. The multi-channel level lines approach has been tested on the HSV color space, which improves the one-channel (gray scale) level lines calculation. Locations hypotheses of pedestrian are performed by a cascade of boosted classifiers. The validation of these regions of interest is carry out by a Support Vector Machine classifier. Results give more than 78.5 % of good detections on urban video sequences.
