Accurate pedestrian localization in overhead depth images via Height-Augmented HOG

31 May 2018  ·  Werner Kroneman, Alessandro Corbetta, Federico Toschi ·

We tackle the challenge of reliably and automatically localizing pedestrians in real-life conditions through overhead depth imaging at unprecedented high-density conditions. Leveraging upon a combination of Histogram of Oriented Gradients-like feature descriptors, neural networks, data augmentation and custom data annotation strategies, this work contributes a robust and scalable machine learning-based localization algorithm, which delivers near-human localization performance in real-time, even with local pedestrian density of about 3 ped/m2, a case in which most state-of-the art algorithms degrade significantly in performance.
