摘要

Deep learning-based computer vision is usually data-hungry. Many researchers attempt to augment datasets with synthesized data to improve model robustness. However, the augmentation of popular pedestrian datasets, such as Caltech and Citypersons, can be extremely challenging because real pedestrians are commonly in low quality. Due to the factors like occlusions, blurs, and low-resolution, it is significantly difficult for existing augmentation approaches, which generally synthesize data using 3D engines or generative adversarial networks (GANs), to generate realistic-looking pedestrians. Alternatively, to access much more natural-looking pedestrians, we propose to augment pedestrian detection datasets by transforming real pedestrians from the same dataset into different shapes. Accordingly, we propose the Shape Transformation-based Dataset Augmentation (STDA) framework. The proposed framework is composed of two subsequent modules, i.e. the shape-guided deformation and the environment adaptation. In the first module, we introduce a shape-guided warping field to help deform the shape of a real pedestrian into a different shape. Then, in the second stage, we propose an environment-aware blending map to better adapt the deformed pedestrians into surrounding environments, obtaining more realistic-looking pedestrians and more beneficial augmentation results for pedestrian detection. Extensive empirical studies on different pedestrian detection benchmarks show that the proposed STDA framework consistently produces much better augmentation results than other pedestrian synthesis approaches using low-quality pedestrians. By augmenting the original datasets, our proposed framework also improves the baseline pedestrian detector by up to 38% on the evaluated benchmarks, achieving state-of-the-art performance.
