Abstract: This paper studies pedestrian detection algorithm based on trapezoidal feature of local model, and applied to histogram intersection kernel support vector machine (HIKSVM) for verification. In comparison with traditional asymmetry, rectangle and triangle features, the experimental results from trapezoid feature of local model indicate that it can more effectively describe the pedestrian's postures and promote the accuracy and robustness of pedestrian detection. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust and accurate against cluttered dynamical background, occlusion and the object deformation, and tested in many pedestrian datasets and achieved good results.

Keywords: Local model, trapezoidal feature, feature extraction, pedestrian detection
