models of Object Detection with Discriminatively Trained Part Based Models中star-cascade级联检测

先说下star-cascade是什么？

models of Object Detection with Discriminatively Trained Part Based Models中的检测升级

运用了pca降维产生的分级检测。

首先还是转到window下运行：

makefile比较麻烦，主要是编译cascade.cc和model.cc。

两个文件是有关联的，单独编译任何一个都不可以。

所以把文件后缀改为cpp后，进入有文件的目录

在matlab命令行中敲入：

mex -v cascade.cpp model.cpp

会有一些c语法的错误，可以参看前面的几个篇博文

修改后再次编译，应该就可以了。

之后可以根据原始程序中的readme所写：

3. Start matlab.

   Start matlab inside your voc-release4 directory.  To use the cascade
   code you will need to add it to your path with the following matlab
   command.

     >> addpath star-cascade;

   Now run to see a demonstration of cascade detection.

     >> cascade_demo

   Fin.

或者是：

An example.

  % load the PASCAL 2007 bicycle model into the variable 'model'
  load('VOC2007/bicycle_final');

  % produce a cascade model trained on the 2007 dataset
  % using 5 dimensional PCA filters and a global detection
  % threshold of -1.
  csc_model = cascade_model(model, '2007', 5, -1);

  % compute the feature pyramid for image im
  pyra = featpyramid(im, csc_model);

  % get cascade detections
  [dets, boxes] = cascade_detect(pyra, csc_model, csc_model.thresh);

当然还要参看readme中修改global.m中的目录。

2. Edit globals.m.

   Add the following two lines to the end of globals.m in your
   voc-release4 installation.

     % directory for cascade algorithm data
     cscdir = [pwd() '/star-cascade/data/'];
