Latent SVM
===============================================================
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 the maximum over
components, of the score of that component model at the given
location.
In OpenCV there are C implementation of Latent SVM and C++ wrapper of it.
C version is the structure :ocv:struct:`CvObjectDetection` and a set of functions
working with this structure (see :ocv:func:`cvLoadLatentSvmDetector`,
:ocv:func:`cvReleaseLatentSvmDetector`, :ocv:func:`cvLatentSvmDetectObjects`).
C++ version is the class :ocv:class:`LatentSvmDetector` and has slightly different
functionality in contrast with C version - it supports loading and detection
of several models.
There are two examples of Latent SVM usage: ``samples/c/latentsvmdetect.cpp``
and ``samples/cpp/latentsvm_multidetect.cpp``.
