Abstract
This paper describes a novel technique for detecting a human body direction using M-HOG feature. The HOG feature is a well-known feature for the detection of a pedestrian. Recently the HOG feature has been employed not only for detecting a human but also for recognizing a human pose or action. This paper proposes the employment of the HOG feature based on multiple bin histograms. We employ the feature for detecting a human body direction. Experimental results show effectiveness of the proposed technique compared to the conventional one.
