A Two-Step Pedestrian Detection Algorithm Based on RGB-D Data

A two-step pedestrian detection algorithm based RGB-D data is presented. Firstly, down-sample the depth image and extract the key information with a voxel grid. Second, remove the ground by using the random sample consensus (RANSAC) segmentation algorithm. Third, describe pedestrian characteristics by using Point Feature Histogram (PFH) and estimate the position of pedestrian preliminarily. Finally, calculate the pedestrian characteristics based on color image by Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) descriptor and detect pedestrian using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The experimental results show that the algorithm can accurately detect the pedestrian not only in the single-pedestrian scene with pose variety but also in the multi-pedestrian scene with partial occlusion between pedestrians.
