Abstract:

The regular behavior reflected by the interaction of spatial layout and interior elements of the scene with the moving object is named the scene motion pattern. In this paper, a novel approach of the object detection combining scene motion pattern with the directed AdaBoost weighting method is proposed to remedy the limitation of the existing detection algorithms that give little consideration of the object motion regularity and the priori information about the scene. For this reason, a model of the scene motion pattern described by a matrix of speed-weighting directed histogram is created, and the information about the scene motion pattern is acquired by the voting of the sparse optical flows on that basis. Meanwhile, a directed AdaBoost weighting detection algorithm is developed correspondingly. A set of directed AdaBoost classifiers which are then weighted according to the motion pattern of the region are established in the algorithm. According to the specially designed cross-validation classification experiments and video tests, the precision rates of the algorithm are about 10% higher than that of standard AdaBoost detector under the same condition of the false positive rate, which proves the effectiveness and the advancements of the proposed approach.

Key words: object detection, scene motion pattern, directed AdaBoost, weighted classification, optical flows
