Regionlets Generic Object Detection

Abstract

Regionlets is an object detection approach aimed at detecting objects in arbitrary scales, arbitrary viewpoints, with the capability of deformation and sub-category handling. It detects objects at their original scale, i.e. the approach does not resize the image when performing training/testing. Compared to traditional object detection paradigm, Regionlets model differs in:
  • Feature histograms are built in variable regions (vs fixed size cells, 8x8 HOG for example)
  • Feature extraction regions are normalized to detection windows.
  • Deformation handling is learned from data.
  • Learned Regionlets model is lot limited by a fixed scale or aspect ratio.
  • Figure 1 shows the detection framework.
