Toward robust foveated wide field of view people detection

چکیده
We present a foveated vision system for robust person detection in wide field of view. The system consists of an omidirectional camera for people detection in a wide field of view and a pan-tilt camera that can focus on a particular location. Combining the information from both cameras leads to improved people detection. The people detection is based on human body part detectors and a probabilistic model of the spatial arrangement of the parts. The representation is robust to partial occlusions, part detector false alarms and missed detections of body parts. We also show how to use the fact that the persons walk on a known ground plane to increase the efficiency and reliability of the detection.

Implementations and Implications of Foveated Vision
Humans are equipped with "space-variant" vision, i.e. a concentration of photoreceptors, retinal ganglion cells and other visual resources at the central fovea, and a sparser coverage of other regions within a wide 180 degree field of view. If the entire visual field was equipped with foveal ganglion cell resolution, then the brain would have to cope with approximately 350 times more visual inf...
متن کاملSuperimposed multi-resolution imaging
We present a novel approach to foveated imaging based on dual-aperture optics that superimpose two images on a single sensor, thus attaining a pronounced foveal function with reduced optical complexity. Each image captures the scene at a different magnification and therefore the system simultaneously captures a wide field of view and a high acuity at a central region. This approach enables arbi...
متن کاملPre-Attentive Face Detection for Foveated Wide-Field Surveillance
Conventional surveillance sensors suffer from an unavoidable tradeoff between image resolution and field of view. This problem may be overcome by combining a fixed, preattentive, low-resolution wide-field camera with a shiftable, attentive, high-resolution narrow-field camera. Here we present techniques for orienting the attentive camera to faces detected in the pre-attentive wide-field image s...
متن کاملDesign of a foveated imaging system using a two-axis MEMS mirror
We present a novel foveated imaging system which consists of three major components: a foveated imager, a peripheral imager, and a 2D scanning sub-system. The foveated imager captures a narrow field of view (FOV) with high angular resolution to mimic the foveated region of interest (FRoI), and the peripheral imager captures a wide FOV with low angular resolution to provide the peripheral region...
متن کاملAttending, Foveating and Recognizing Objects in Real World Scenes
Recognition in cluttered real world scenes is a challenging problem. To find a particular object of interest within a reasonable time, a wide field of view is preferable. However, as we will show with practical experiments, robust recognition is easier if the object is foveated and subtends a considerable part of the visual field. In this paper a binocular system able to overcome these two conf...
