Abstract. In this paper, a multiview pedestrian detection method based on Vec-
tor Boosting algorithm is presented. The Extended Histograms of Oriented Gra-
dients (EHOG) features are formed via dominant orientations in which gradient
orientations are quantified into several angle scales that divide gradient orienta-
tion space into a number of dominant orientations. Blocks of combined rectan-
gles with their dominant orientations constitute the feature pool. The Vector
Boosting algorithm is used to learn a tree-structure detector for multiview
pedestrian detection based on EHOG features. Further a detector pyramid
framework over several pedestrian scales is proposed for better performance.
