Robust Object Detection via Soft Cascade

Abstract

We describe a method for training object detectors using a generalization of the cascade architecture, which results in a detection rate and speed comparable to that of the best published detectors while allowing for easier training and a detector with fewer features. In addition, the method allows for quickly calibrating the detector for a target detection rate, false positive rate or speed. One important advantage of our method is that it enables systematic exploration of the ROC surface, which characterizes the trade-off between accuracy and speed for a given classifier.
