As we will show, with the addition of EOH we obtain better ROCs than using Haar filters alone. Hence, a model consisting of discriminant features, selected by AdaBoost, is applied at pedestrian-sized image windows in order to performthe classification. Additionally, taking into account the final application, a driver assistance system with realtime requirements, we propose a novel stereo-based camera pitch estimation to reduce the number of explored windows.With this approach, the system can work in urban roads, as will be illustrated by current results. %K ADAS %K pedestrian detection %K adaboost learning %K pitch estimation %K haar wavelets %K edge orientation histograms. %9 miscellaneous %U http://www.cvc.uab.es/adas/publications/geronimo_viip2006.pdf %U http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/GSL2006.pdf
