  • Opponent Colors for Human Detection

    Rao Muhammad Anwer, David Vázquez, Antonio Manuel López

    Lecture notes in computer science · 2011

    By feeding OPP space in the baseline framework of Dalal et al. for human detection (based on RGB, HOG and linear SVM), the authors will obtain better detection performance than by using RGB space, which suggests that in the future it could be worth to compute co-occurrence matrices, self-similarity features, etc., also on top of OPPspace, i.e., as they have done with HOG in this paper.
