Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) is one of the well-known features for object recognition. HOG features are calculated by taking orientation histograms of edge intensity in a local region. N.Dalal
et al.
proposed an object detection algorithm in which HOG features were extracted from all locations of a dense grid on a image region and the combined features are classified by using linear Support Vector Machine (SVM). In this paper, we employ HOG features extracted from all locations of a grid on the image as candidates of the feature vectors. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to these HOG feature vectors to obtain the score (PCA-HOG) vectors. Then a proper subset of PCA-HOG feature vectors is selected by using Stepwise Forward Selection (SFS) algorithm or Stepwise Backward Selection (SBS) algorithm to improve the generalization performance. The selected PCA-HOG feature vectors are used as an input of linear SVM to classify the given input into pedestrian/non-pedestrian. The improvement of the recognition rates are confirmed through experiments using MIT pedestrian dataset.
