Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Pedestrian Detection with Multi-Levels Features Fusion

Abstract

Pedestrian detection aims to localize and recognize every pedestrian instance in an image with a bounding box. The current state-of-the-art method is Faster RCNN, which is such a network that uses a region proposal network (RPN) to generate high quality region proposals, while Fast RCNN is used to classifiers extract features into corresponding categories. The contribution of this paper is integrated low-level features and high-level features into a Faster RCNN-based pedestrian detection framework, which efficiently increase the capacity of the feature. Through our experiments, we comprehensively evaluate our framework, on the Caltech pedestrian detection benchmark and our methods achieve state-of-the-art accuracy and present a competitive result on Caltech dataset.
