PPM: A boolean optimizer for data association in multi-view pedestrian detection

Rui Qiu, Ming Xu, Yuyao Yan, Jeremy S. Smith, Yuchen Ling

Abstract: Highlights•Pedestrian detection is formulated as logic minimization in Boolean algebra.•A probabilistic Petrick’s method (PPM) is used for logic minimization.•The PPM is focused on the unique cover of pedestrian masks by candidate boxes.•The PPM is non-iterative, unlike the iterative optimization in benchmark algorithms.
