Detecting Pedestrians with Support Vector Machines

In the previous chapter, we talked about how to use decision trees for classification and regression. In this chapter, we want to direct our attention to another well-established supervised learner in the machine learning world: support vector machines (SVMs). Soon after their introduction in early 1990, SVMs quickly became popular in the machine learning community, largely because of their success in early handwritten digit classification. They remain relevant to this day, especially in application domains, such as computer vision.

The goal of this chapter is to apply SVMs to a popular problem in computer vision: pedestrian detection. In contrast to a recognition task (where we name the ...
