OpenCV Latent SVM Discriminatively Trained Part Based Models for Object Detection

OpenCV 2.4版本实现了C++版本的DPM程序，和之前C版本的主要区别就是可以同时检测多种目标。使用时，可以把训练好的模型放到一个文件夹中，待检测的图像放到另一个文件夹中，即可检测。

可惜没有考虑加速的内容。

Discriminatively Trained Part Based Models for Object Detection¶

The object detector described below has been initially proposed by P.F. Felzenszwalb in[Felzenszwalb2010].  It is based on a Dalal-Triggs detector that uses a single filter on histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) features to represent an object category. This detector uses a sliding window approach, where a filter is applied at all positions and scales of an image. The first innovation is enriching the Dalal-Triggs model using a star-structured part-based model defined by a “root” filter (analogous to the Dalal-Triggs filter) plus a set of parts filters and associated deformation models. The score of one of star models at a particular position and scale within an image is the score of the root filter at the given location plus the sum over parts of the maximum, over placements of that part, of the part filter score on its location minus a deformation cost easuring the deviation of the part from its ideal location relative to the root. Both root and part filter scores are defined by the dot product between a filter (a set of weights) and a subwindow of a feature pyramid computed from the input image. Another improvement is a representation of the class of models by a mixture of star models. The score of a mixture model at a particular position and scale is th
