Visual People Detection - Different Models, Comparison and Discussion

Over the last few years, visual people detection has made impressive progress. The paper gives an overview of some of the most successful techniques for people detection and also summarizes a recent quantitative comparison of several state-of-the-art methods. As a proof-of-concept we show that the combination of visual and laser-based people detection can result in a significant increase in performance. We also briefly discuss future research directions for visual people detection.
