Leveraging colour segmentation for upper-body detection

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a novel approach for upper-body detection in images using multi-class colour segmentation features.

• Using these features and the output of classical shape-based detectors, a two-stage classification scheme is applied.

• Experimental results show a considerable improvement in accuracy on different challenging datasets.
