Detection of Dogs in Video Using Statistical Classifiers

摘要

A common approach to pattern recognition and object detection is to use a statistical classifier. Widely used method is AdaBoost or its modifications which yields outstanding results in certain tasks like face detection. The aim of this work was to build real-time system for detection of dogs for surveillance purposes. The author of this paper thus explored the possibility that the AdaBoost based classifiers could be used for this task.
