In this kind of method, whether the appropriate feature can be extracted is the key to the comprehensive performance of the whole pedestrian detection system. It is believed that the appearance of a pedestrian can be better captured by the combination of edge\/local shape feature and texture feature. In this field, the current method is to simply concatenate HOG (histogram of oriented gradient) features and LBP (local binary pattern) features extracted from an image to produce a new feature with large dimension. This kind of method achieves better performance at the cost of increasing the number of features. In this paper, Choquet integral based on the signed fuzzy measure is introduced to fuse HOG and LBP descriptors in parallel that is expected to improve accuracy without increasing feature dimensions. The parameters needed in the whole fusion process are optimized by a training algorithm based on genetic algorithm. This architecture has three advantages. Firstly, because the fusion of HOG and LBP features is parallel, the dimensions of the new features are not increased. Secondly, the speed of feature fusion is fast, thus reducing the time of pedestrian detection. Thirdly, the new features after fusion have the advantages of HOG and LBP features, which is helpful to improve the detection accuracy. The series of experimentation with the architecture proposed in this paper reaches promising and satisfactory results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13020250","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,2]],"date-time":"2021-02-02T13:01:12Z","timestamp":1612270872000},"page":"250","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Pedestrian Detection under Parallel Feature Fusion Based on Choquet Integral"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Rong","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechatronics and Control Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518000, China"},{"name":"Guangdong Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Control and Intelligent Robots, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518000, China"}]},{"given":"Yun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechatronics and Control Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518000, China"},{"name":"Guangdong Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Control and Intelligent Robots, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2881-7093","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ying","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechatronics and Control Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518000, China"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechatronics and Control Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0580-8773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Science, Shanghai 200050, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3212","DOI":"10.1109\/TNNLS.2018.2876865","article-title":"Object detection with deep learning: A review","volume":"30","author":"Zhao","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
