Abstract

Person detection in real videos and images is a classical research problem in computer vision. Person detection is a nontrivial problem that offers many challenges due to several nuisances that commonly observed in natural videos. Among these, scale is the main challenging problem in various object detection tasks. To solve the scale problem, we propose a framework that estimates the scales of person’s heads, as we argue that head is the only visible part in complex scenes. we propose a head detection framework that explicitly handles head scales. The framework consists of two sequential networks: (1) scale estimation network (SENet) and (2) head detection network. SENet predicts the distribution of scales from the input image in the form of histogram. Then the scale histogram adjust anchor scale set of region proposal network that generates object proposals. These objects proposals are then classified into two classes, that is, head and background by the detection network. We evaluate proposed framework on three challenging benchmark datasets. Experiment results show that proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art performance.
