RT Conference Proceedings T1 Characterisation of the spatial sensitivity of classifiers in pedestrian detection A1 Quinteros, Daniel A1 Velastin Carroza, Sergio Alejandro A1 Acuña Leiva, Gonzalo AB In this paper, a study of the spatial sensitivity in the pedestrian detection context is carried out by a comparison of two descriptor-classifier combinations, using the well-known sliding window approach and looking for a well-tuned response of the detector. By well-tuned, we mean that multiple detections are minimised so as to facilitate the usual non-maximal suppression stage. So, to guide the evaluation we introduce the concept of spatial sensitivity so that a pedestrian detection algorithm with good spatial sensitivity can reduce the number of classifications in the pedestrian neighbourhood, ideally to one. To characterise spacial sensitivity we propose and use a new metric to measure it. Finally we carry out a statistical analysis (ANOVA) to validate the results obtained from the metric usage.
