Abstract

The most successful approach for object detection is still applying a sliding window technique, where a pre-trained classifier is evaluated on different locations and scales. In this chapter, we interrogate this strategy in the context of stationary environments. In particular, having a fixed camera position observing the same scene a lot of prior (spatio-temporal) information is available. Exploiting this specific scene information allows for (a) improving the detection performance and (b) for reducing the model complexity; both on reduced computational costs! These benefits are demonstrated for two different real-world tasks (i.e., person and car detection). In particular, we apply two different evaluation/update strategies (holistic, grid-based), where any suited online learner can be applied. In our case we demonstrate the proposed approaches for different applications and scenarios, clearly showing their benefits compared to generic methods.

We refer a classifier to as an oracle, if it has a high precision, even at a low recall, and can thus be used to generate new training samples.

This particular task was chosen as implementations of existing approaches as well as a number of benchmark datasets are publicly available.
