Recently, combining information from multiple cameras has shown to be very beneficial for object detection and tracking. In contrast, the goal of this work is to train detectors exploiting the vast amount of unlabeled data given by geometry information of a specific multiple camera setup.Starting from a small number of positive training samples, we apply a co-training strategy in order to generate new very valuable samples from unlabeled data that could not be obtained otherwise. To compensate for unreliable updates and to increase the detection power, we introduce a new online multiple instance co-training algorithm. The approach, although not limited to this application, is demonstrated for learning a person detector on different challenging scenarios. In particular, we give a detailed analysis of the learning process and show that by applying the proposed approach we can train state-of-the-art person detectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
