An oriented gradient based image quality metric for pedestrian detection performance evaluation
作者：
Highlights：
• The effects of image quality on pedestrian detection performance are evaluated.
• An evaluation tool to reduce the need for costly annotated databases is desirable.
• An objective quality metric based on histograms of oriented gradients is proposed.
• The metric correlates closely with pedestrian detection performance.
• The metric can be used to design vision systems with optimized system performance.
