Human Detection Using HOG-SVM, Mixture of Gaussian and Background Contours Subtraction

Abstract

Automatic moving object/Human detection in a video sequence is one of the most difficult problems in the field of image processing and computer vision. The HOG-SVM provides a detection windows that is not perfectly adjusted to the silhouette of the Human detected. It is possible to apply a postprocess based on background subtraction to improve the segmentation of the detection. In this paper, we present thus a detection method that improves results provided by HOG-SVM with a combination of mixture of Gaussian and background contours subtraction.
