This page covers the Daimler Pedestrian Classification Benchmark Dataset introduced in

S. Munder and D. M. Gavrila. “An Experimental Study on Pedestrian Classification”. IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, vol. 28, no. 11, pp.1863-1868, November 2006.

Pedestrian Dataset

The dataset contains a collection of pedestrian and non-pedestrian images. It is made available for download on this site for benchmarking purposes, in order to advance research on pedestrian classification. 

Pedestrian Data Set Dataset

The dataset consists of two parts:

  • a base data set. The base data set contains a total of 4000 pedestrian- and 5000 non-pedestrian samples cut out from video images and scaled to common size of 18x36 pixels. This data set has been used in Section VII-A of the paper referenced above. 

    Pedestrian images were obtained from manually labeling and extracting the rectangular positions of pedestrians in video images.  Video images were recorded at various (day) times and locations with no particular constraints on pedestrian pose or clothing, except that pedestrians are standing in upright position and are fully visible. As non-pedestrian images, patterns representative for typical preprocessing steps within a pedestrian classification application, from video images known not to contain any pedestrians. We chose to use a shape-based pedestrian detector that matches a given set of pedestrian shape templates to distance transformed edge images (i.e. comparatively relaxed matching threshold).
     
  • additional non-pedestrian images. An additional collection of 1200 video images NOT containing any pedestrians, intended for the extraction of additional negative training examples. Section V of the paper referenced above describes two methods on how to increase the training sample size from these images, and Section VII-B lists experimental results.

For more details on the benchmark dataset, see the associated README file.
