• Pedestrian Detection

This code produces the results presented in http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.5209 on the Caltech dataset (optical flow used; so it doesn't work on the INRIA dataset) with BING as the pre-processor.

• The current demo contains a few test images from Caltech Pedestrian data sets (set07, V004).

• (a) Compile optical flow source code if needed by (Precompiled files provided already! You may not need to compile your own version)

sh> ./mex_optical.sh

• (b) Run demo.m (This will generate the ROC curve on the Caltech dataset set07, V004. It will download the data first ~400M.)

matlab> demo

WARNING: It may take 2 to 4 hours to get the result, depending on your machine. You should see a plot as below.

• More Caltech Pedestrian test data can be obtained from

• NB: set00-set05 are used for training and set06-set10 are used for testing see http://www.vision.caltech.edu/Image_Datasets/CaltechPedestrians/

• The data set is in seq video format. Download MATLAB functions for read/write seq video files from http://vision.ucsd.edu/~pdollar/toolbox/doc/index.html

The code has been tested to run on Ubuntu 14.04LTS (kernel: Linux 3.13.0-39-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux), Matlab 2013a.
