How to detect human using findcontours based on the human shape?

hi guys, I wanna ask how to detecting humans or pedestrians on blob (findcontours)? I've try to learn how to detecting any object on the frame using findcontours() like this:

#include"stdafx.h"
#include<vector>
#include<iostream>
#include<opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include<opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include<opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
#include<opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    cv::Mat frame;                                              
    cv::Mat fg;     
    cv::Mat blurred;
    cv::Mat thresholded;
    cv::Mat thresholded2;
    cv::Mat result;
    cv::Mat bgmodel;                                            
    cv::namedWindow("Frame");   
    cv::namedWindow("Background Model"
        //,CV_WINDOW_NORMAL
        );
    //cv::resizeWindow("Background Model",400,300);
    cv::namedWindow("Blob"
        //,CV_WINDOW_NORMAL
        );
    //cv::resizeWindow("Blob",400,300);
    cv::VideoCapture cap("campus3.avi");    

    cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 bgs;                           

        bgs.nmixtures = 3;
        bgs.history = 1000;
        bgs.varThresholdGen = 15;
        bgs.bShadowDetection = true;                            
        bgs.nShadowDetection = 0;                               
        bgs.fTau = 0.5;                                         

    std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point>> contours;               

    for(;;)
    {
        cap >> frame;                                           

        cv::GaussianBlur(frame,blurred,cv::Size(3,3),0,0,cv::BORDER_DEFAULT);

        bgs.operator()(blurred,fg);                         
        bgs.getBackgroundImage(bgmodel);                                

        cv::threshold(fg,thresholded,70.0f,255,CV_THRESH_BINARY);
        cv::threshold(fg,thresholded2,70.0f,255,CV_THRESH_BINARY);

        cv::Mat elementCLOSE(5,5,CV_8U,cv::Scalar(1));
        cv::morphologyEx(thresholded,thresholded,cv::MORPH_CLOSE,elementCLOSE);
        cv::morphologyEx(thresholded2,thresholded2,cv::MORPH_CLOSE,elementCLOSE);

        cv::findContours(thresholded,contours,CV_RETR_CCOMP,CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);
        cv::cvtColor(thresholded2,result,CV_GRAY2RGB);

        int cmin = 50; 
        int cmax = 1000;

        std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point>>::iterator itc=contours.begin();

        while (itc!=contours.end()) {   

                if (itc->size() > cmin && itc->size() < cmax){ 

                        std::vector<cv::Point> pts = *itc;
                        cv::Mat pointsMatrix = cv::Mat(pts);
                        cv::Scalar color( 0, 255, 0 );

                        cv::Rect r0= cv::boundingRect(pointsMatrix);
                        cv::rectangle(frame,r0,color,2);

                        ++itc;
                    }else{++itc;}
        }

        cv::imshow("Frame",frame);
        cv::imshow("Background Model",bgmodel);
        cv::imshow("Blob",result);
        if(cv::waitKey(30) >= 0) break;
    }
    return 0;
}

and now I wanna know how to detect humans? am I need to use hog? or haar? if yes I need to use them, how to use them? any tutorials to learn how to use it? because I'm so curious! and it's so much fun when I learn OpenCV! so addictive! :))

anyway I'll appreciate any help here, thanks. :)
