Fast Car Detection Using Image Strip Features

Abstract

This paper presents a fast method for detecting multi-view cars in real-world scenes. Cars are artificial objects with various appearance changes, but they have relatively consistent characteristics in structure that consist of some basic local elements. Inspired by this, we propose a novel set of image strip features to describe the appearances of those elements. The new features represent various types of lines and arcs with edge-like and ridge-like strip patterns, which significantly enrich the simple features such as haar-like features and edgelet features. They can also be calculated efficiently using the integral image. Moreover, we develop a new complexity-aware criterion for RealBoost algorithm to balance the discriminative capability and efficiency of the selected features. The experimental results on widely used single view and multi-view car datasets show that our approach is fast and has good performance.
