Abandoned object recognition using pedestrian detection

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided for improved abandoned object recognition using pedestrian detection. An abandoned object is detected in one or more images by determining if one or more detected objects in a foreground of the images comprises a potential abandoned object; applying a trained pedestrian detector to the potential abandoned object to determine if the potential abandoned object comprises at least a portion of a pedestrian; and classifying the potential abandoned object as an abandoned object based on whether the potential abandoned object is not at least a portion of a pedestrian. The trained pedestrian detector is trained using positive training samples comprised of at least portions of human bodies in one or more poses and/or negative training samples comprised of at least portions of abandoned objects.
