A tool for vision based pedestrian detection performance evaluation

Abstract
This paper describes a system for evaluating pedestrian detection algorithm results. The developed tool allows a human operator to annotate on a file all pedestrians in a previously acquired video sequence. A similar file is produced by the algorithm being tested using the same annotation engine. A matching rule has been established to validate the association between items of the two files. For each frame a statistical analyzer extracts the number of mis-detections, both positive and negative, and correct detections. Using these data, statistics about the algorithm behavior are computed with the aim of tuning parameters and pointing out recongnition weak- nesses in particular situations.
