Abstract

The capability of recognizing pedestrian attributes, such as gender and clothing style, at far distance, is of practical interest in far-view video surveillance scenarios where face and body close-shots are hardly available. We make two contributions in this paper. First, we release a new pedestrian attribute dataset, which is by far the largest and most diverse of its kind. We show that the large-scale dataset facilitates the learning of robust attribute detectors with good generalization performance. Second, we present the benchmark performance by SVM-based method and propose an alternative approach that exploits context of neighboring pedestrian images for improved attribute inference.

 

Composition of PEdesTrian Attribute (PETA) dataset

 

The PETA dataset consists of 19000 images, with resolution ranging from 17-by-39 to 169-by-365 pixels. Those 19000 images include 8705 persons, each annotated with 61 binary and 4 multi-class attributes. The detail composition can be seen from the table below.
