One of the main challenges in pedestrian classification is partial occlusion. This study presents a new method for pedestrian classification with partial occlusion handling. The proposed method involves a set of part-based classifiers trained on histogram of oriented gradients features derived from non-occluded pedestrian data set. The score of each part classifier is then employed to weight features used to train a second stage full-body classifier. The full-body classifier based on local weighted linear kernel support vector machine is trained using both non-occluded and artificially generated partial occlusion pedestrian dataset. The new kernel allows to significantly focus on the non-occluded parts and reduce the impact of the occluded ones. Experimental results on real-world dataset, with both partially occluded and non-occluded data, show high performance of the proposed method compared with other state-of-the-art methods.
