TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Towards reaching human performance in pedestrian detection JO - IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence A1 - Zhang, Shanshan A1 - Benenson, Rodrigo A1 - Omran, Mohamed A1 - Hosang, Jan A1 - Schiele, Bernt SP - 973 EP - 986 VL - 40 IS - 4 N2 - Encouraged by the recent progress in pedestrian detection, we investigate the gap between current state-of-the-art methods and the "perfect single frame detector". We enable our analysis by creating a human baseline for pedestrian detection (over the Caltech pedestrian dataset). After manually clustering the frequent errors of a top detector, we characterise both localisation and backgroundversus- foreground errors. To address localisation errors we study the impact of training annotation noise on the detector performance, and show that we can improve results even with a small portion of sanitised training data. To address background/foreground discrimination, we study convnets for pedestrian detection, and discuss which factors affect their performance. Other than our in-depth analysis, we report top performance on the Caltech pedestrian dataset, and provide a new sanitised set of training and test annotations.
