Abstract

State-of-the-art pedestrian detectors are capable of finding humans in images with reasonable accuracy. However, accurate object detectors such as Integral Channel Features (ICF) do not provide good reliability; they are unable to identify detections which they are less confident (or more uncertain) about. We apply existing methods for generating probabilistic measures from classifier scores (such as Piatt exponential scaling and Isotonic Regression) and compare these to Gaussian Process classifiers (GPCs), which can provide more informative predictive variance. GPCs are less accurate than ICF classifiers, but GPCs and Adaboost with Piatt scaling both provide improved reliability over existing methods.
