Abstract
A method detects an object in a scene by first determining an active set of window positions from depth data. Specifically, the object can be a person. The depth data are acquired by a depth sensor. For each, window position perform the following steps. Assign a window size based on the depth data. Select a current window from the active set of window positions. Extract a joint feature from the depth data and texture data for the current window, wherein the texture data are acquired by a camera. Classify the joint feature to detect the object. The classifier is trained with joint training features extracted from training data including training depth data and training texture data acquired by the sensor and camera respectively. Finally, the active set of window positions is updated before processing the next current window.
