In this paper, we propose a novel framework to customize person detectors in static camera scenarios in order to reduce this rate. This scheme includes background modeling for subtraction based on gradient histograms and Mean-Shift clustering. Our experiments show that the detection improved compared to using only the output from the pedestrian detector reducing 87\% of the false positives and therefore the overall precision of the detectionwas increased signi cantly.", optnote="OR; MILAB;MV", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2238), last updated on Thu, 10 Nov 2016 11:56:13 +0100", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/BVR2013.pdf:PDF" }
