Machine learning for people detection in guidance functionality of enabling health applications by means of cascaded SVM classifiers

We thus propose application of a cascaded support vector machine (SVM) classifier with linear and combined cascading of SVMs based on histogram of oriented gradients (HOGs) and Fisher score preselection. Proposed algorithms are evaluated on the basis of the INRIA database and compared to the state of the art procedure with HOG-features in combination with a standard SVM.
