New algorithm improves speed and accuracy of pedestrian detection; cascade detection + deep learning

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have developed a pedestrian detection system that performs in near real-time (2-4 frames per second) and with higher accuracy (close to half the error) compared to existing systems. However, deep learning models are too complex for real-time implementation.
