On detecting a human body direction using an image information

This paper describes a novel technique for detecting a human body direction using HOG feature. The HOG feature is a well-known feature for the judgment of a human. But normally it contains the background feature, which gives negative influence on the judgment. This paper proposes the employment of the HOG feature based on selecting feature methods. We employ the feature for detecting a human body direction. Experimental results show effectiveness of the proposed technique compared to the conventional one.
