The embodiment of the invention discloses a mixed category
object detection method and device based on multi-scale gradient
histogram features, a storage medium and embedded equipment, and relates to the field of
image processing. According to the method, a set containing a plurality of HOG operators with different resolutions is obtained, and the
reference window resolution is determined. An input image is obtained, a
zoom factor set is constructed, and a maximum scanning area is determined. The detection base point moves in the area according to a preset step length, scaling factors are selected at all positions, a
cutting area is calculated, and pixel blocks are
cut and scaled to be stored in a buffer area. Calculating a current detection area and a newly added area, extracting Block-level gradient
histogram features, and storing the Block-level gradient
histogram features in an HOG feature buffer area; and selecting an HOG operator from the operator set, calculating a coordinate index, reading operator-level features, and inputting the operator-level features into a classifier to obtain a detection result. And after traversal is completed, non-maximum values of the results are suppressed to obtain final detection results of the HOG operators, so that the speed of multi-target detection is improved, and the calculation overhead is reduced.
