Multi-scale cross-layer fusion and center position network for pedestrian detection by Qian Liu, Youwei Qi, Cunbao Wang

“…We add a center position branch into the localization regression sub-network in MCF-CP-NET to better detect occluded pedestrians, which predicts the centrality index of the localization box to obtain the center score, and further optimizes the score of non-maximum suppression. Experiments show that the average precision and recall of MCF-CP-NET are separately improved by 1.2% and 0.7% on the person class of Pascal VOC2007 dataset and 1.6% and 0.1% on WiderPerson dataset, in comparison with the state-of-the-art.…”
