18. Summary • HOG, MultiFtr, FtrMine outperform others • VJ and Shaplet perform poorly • LatSvm trained on PASCAL dataset • HOG poerforms best on near, unoccluded pedestrians • MultiFtr ties or outperforms HOG on difficult cases • Much room for imporvment

19. Daimler dataset • Recent survey in PAMI 09 • Observation • HOG/linSVM at higher image resolution performs well, with lower processing speed) • Wavelet-based Adaboost cascade at lower image resolution performs well, with higher processing speed
