Abstract

This paper presents a real-time robust pedestrian detection algorithm based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). With the success of CNN in image recognition, CNN has also been used in pedestrian detection, but these methods are still difficult to use the case of real-time application. The proposed method makes full use of the powerful feature representation and faster recognition ability of CNN to meet the real-time request for pedestrian detection. To do so, we regard the pedestrian detection as a regression problem, and a CNN model is employed to solve it. Since a new loss function is introduced, the training can be completed end-to-end, and the trained CNN can directly map an image to the location and confidence of pedestrian bounding box without feature abstraction. We verify the proposed method on the common pedestrian detection dataset of Caltech, and experimental results show that it owns lower miss rate and higher detection frame rate compared with some popular methods.
