Soft Hough Forest-ERTs: Generalized Hough Transform based object detection from soft-labelled training data

作者:

Highlights:

• A modified soft label estimation method by selecting a reliable positive bag based on Maximum Mean Discrepancy.

• Extremely Randomized Trees are extended to learn from soft-labelled training blobs.

• Probabilistic Hough voting process is derived from soft label ERTs codebook.

• Weakly supervised object detection method is proposed.

• Experimental results show the advantage of utilizing soft labels, and the performance of the proposed weakly supervised object detection method.
