Abstract
Human and head detection have been rapidly improved with the development of deep convolutional neural networks. However, these two detection tasks are often studied separately, without taking advantage of the relationship between human and head. In this paper, we present a new two-stage detection framework, namely Joint Enhancement Detection (JED), to simultaneously detect human and head based on enhanced features. Specifically, the proposed JED contains two newly added modules, i.e., the Body Enhancement Module (BEM) and the Head Enhancement Module (HEM). The former is designed to enhance the features used for human detection, while the latter aims to enhance the features used for head detection. With these enhanced features in a joint framework, the proposed method is able to detect human and head simultaneously and efficiently. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed method on the CrowdHuman dataset and achieve better performance than baseline method for both human and head detection.
