Abstract
One classic approach to real-time object detection is to use adaboost to a train a set of look up tables of discrete features. By utilizing a discrete feature set, from features such as local binary patterns, efficient classifiers can be designed. However, these classifiers include interpolation operations while scaling the images over various scales. In this work, we propose the use of real valued weak classifiers which are designed on different scales in order to avoid costly interpolations. The use of real valued weak classifiers in combination with the proposed method avoiding interpolation leads to substantially faster detectors compared to baseline detectors. Furthermore, we investigate the speed and detection performance of such classifiers and their impact on tracking performance. Results indicate that the realboost framework combined with the proposed scaling framework achieves an 80% speed up over adaboost with bilinear interpolation.
