Hello, i am new to Computer vision and Machine learning, i searched a lot but did not find an answer for my questions.

First: I want to know what is the difference between all of these detection methods.

1)HOG.detect()

2)HOG.detectMultiScale()

3)HOG.setSvmDetector()

Second: I read that HOG.setSvmDetector() used only for detecting one object since SVM is a binary classfication, i was wondering can we train multi class SVM (One vs All) and for each single class of SVM we apply a new instance of HOG.setSvmDetector() ?

for an examlpe if i constructed 2 SVM's which means now i have Multi class SVM of 2 classes can i do smth like this:

HOGDescriptor hog1 = newHOGDescriptor()

HOGDescriptor hog2 = new HOGDescriptor()

HOG.setSvmDetector( CLASS ONE )

HOG.setSvmDetector( CLASS TWO )

1) HOG.detect() can only detect objects in exactly the size it was trained upon (faster)

2) HOG.detectMultiScale() applies a scale pyramid on the image, so it can also find objects closer or more far away (slower)

3) you can only detect a single class of objects per HogDescriptor

(you can also only set a single SVMDetector per instance) ofc. you can try to train several, and use several instances, but this will be terribly inefficient. if you need multiple classes, have a look at SSD, YOLO or RCNN neural networks in the dnn module.

Thank you for your answer, but now since HOG.detect() detect only trained objects of exactly same size what make it different from HOG.setSvmDetector() that is also detect trained objects of same size ?

i do not understand your question. HOG.setSvmDetector() does not detect anything. it is a means of transporting a pretrained svm support vector to the HOGDescriptor

Doesn't HOG.setSvmDetector( HOGDescriptor.getDefaultPeopleDetector() ) detect pedestrians, the one that is implemented in openCV ?

HOG.detect() or detectMultiScale() detects something. what that is, depends on the pretrained SVMDetector. getDefaultPeopleDetector() and getDaimlerPeopleDetector() are indeed trained on upright humans (INRIA or DAIMLER dataset), but you can also train your own detector, and use that instead.

Ahhh, now i understand you we use either hog.detect() or hog.detectMultiScale() after we train our classifier. Thank you :)

@berak I am sorry to bother again would you mind to take a look at this question on your free time, as i saw you answering things related to multi classification? Thanks
