1. 什么是目标检测？

想象一下，你是一位图像侦探，正在搜寻图像中的"线索"。目标检测就是这样的过程，它可以帮助我们：

• 🔍 定位目标位置（找到"线索"的位置）
• 📏 确定目标大小（测量"线索"的范围）
• 🎯 识别目标类别（判断"线索"的类型）
• 🔄 跟踪目标运动（追踪"线索"的变化）

2. 滑动窗口检测

2.1 基本原理

滑动窗口就像是侦探用放大镜一格一格地检查现场！通过在图像上滑动不同大小的窗口来寻找目标。

关键步骤：

1. 多尺度金字塔
2. 窗口滑动
3. 特征提取
4. 分类判断

2.2 实现示例

// 滑动窗口检测实现
vector<DetectionResult> sliding_window_detect(const Mat& src,const Size& window_size,int stride,float threshold) {vector<DetectionResult> results;HOGExtractor hog(window_size);// 加载预训练的SVM模型Ptr<ml::SVM> svm = ml::SVM::load("pedestrian_svm.xml");#pragma omp parallel forfor (int y = 0; y <= src.rows - window_size.height; y += stride) {for (int x = 0; x <= src.cols - window_size.width; x += stride) {// 提取窗口Mat window = src(Rect(x, y, window_size.width, window_size.height));// 计算HOG特征vector<float> features = hog.compute(window);// SVM预测Mat feature_mat(1, static_cast<int>(features.size()), CV_32F);memcpy(feature_mat.data, features.data(), features.size() * sizeof(float));float score = svm->predict(feature_mat, noArray(), ml::StatModel::RAW_OUTPUT);if (score > threshold) {DetectionResult det;det.bbox = Rect(x, y, window_size.width, window_size.height);det.confidence = score;det.class_id = 1;  // 行人类别det.label = "pedestrian";#pragma omp criticalresults.push_back(det);}}}return results;
}

def sliding_window_detection(img_path, window_size=(64, 64), stride=32):"""滑动窗口检测实现参数:img_path: 输入图像路径window_size: 窗口大小，默认(64, 64)stride: 步长，默认32返回:检测结果可视化"""# 读取图像img = cv2.imread(img_path)if img is None:raise ValueError(f"无法读取图像: {img_path}")# 复制原图用于绘制结果result = img.copy()# 转换为灰度图gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)# 定义简单的目标检测函数（这里使用边缘检测作为示例）def detect_object(window):edges = cv2.Canny(window, 100, 200)return np.sum(edges) > 1000  # 简单的阈值判断# 滑动窗口检测for y in range(0, img.shape[0] - window_size[1], stride):for x in range(0, img.shape[1] - window_size[0], stride):# 提取窗口window = gray[y:y+window_size[1], x:x+window_size[0]]# 检测目标if detect_object(window):# 绘制检测框cv2.rectangle(result, (x, y),(x + window_size[0], y + window_size[1]),(0, 255, 0), 2)return result

3. HOG+SVM检测

3.1 算法原理

HOG（方向梯度直方图）特征就像是侦探提取的"纹理线索"，SVM（支持向量机）就像是经验丰富的"判断专家"。

HOG特征计算：
$$\begin{array}{rl}{g}_x& =I(x+1,y)-I(x-1,y)\\ g_y& =I(x,y+1)-I(x,y-1)\\ g& =\sqrt{g_x^2+g_y^2}\\ \theta & =\arctan (\frac{g_y}{g_x})\end{array}$$

3.2 实现示例

// HOG特征提取器

4. Haar+AdaBoost检测

4.1 算法原理

Haar特征就像是侦探寻找的"明暗对比线索"，AdaBoost就像是多位专家组成的"决策委员会"。

Haar特征计算：
$$f=\sum _{i\in white}I(i)-\sum _{i\in black}I(i)$$

4.2 实现示例

// Haar特征提取器
class HaarExtractor {
public:HaarExtractor() {// 加载预训练的Haar级联分类器face_cascade_.load("haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml");}vector<Rect> detect(const Mat& img, double scale_factor = 1.1, int min_neighbors = 3) {vector<Rect> faces;face_cascade_.detectMultiScale(img, faces, scale_factor, min_neighbors);return faces;}private:CascadeClassifier face_cascade_;
};// 使用示例
Mat detectFaces(const Mat& img) {Mat result = img.clone();Mat gray;cvtColor(img, gray, COLOR_BGR2GRAY);HaarExtractor haar;vector<Rect> faces = haar.detect(gray);for (const Rect& face : faces) {rectangle(result, face, Scalar(0, 255, 0), 2);}return result;
}

def haar_adaboost_detection(img_path):"""Haar+AdaBoost检测实现参数:img_path: 输入图像路径返回:检测结果可视化"""# 读取图像img = cv2.imread(img_path)result = img.copy()gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)# 加载预训练的人脸检测器face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + 'haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')# 进行人脸检测faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.1, 4)# 绘制检测结果for (x, y, w, h) in faces:cv2.rectangle(result, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2)return result

5. 非极大值抑制

5.1 算法原理

非极大值抑制就像是侦探整理重复的线索，只保留最显著的发现。

NMS算法步骤：

1. 按置信度排序
2. 计算重叠度
3. 抑制重叠框

5.2 实现示例

// 非极大值抑制实现
vector<int> nms(const vector<Rect>& boxes, const vector<float>& scores,float iou_threshold) {vector<int> indices(boxes.size());std::iota(indices.begin(), indices.end(), 0);  // 填充为 0, 1, 2, ...// 按分数排序sort(indices.begin(), indices.end(),[&scores](int a, int b) { return scores[a] > scores[b]; });vector<int> keep;while (!indices.empty()) {int curr = indices[0];keep.push_back(curr);vector<int> tmp;for (size_t i = 1; i < indices.size(); i++) {float iou = compute_iou(boxes[curr], boxes[indices[i]]);if (iou <= iou_threshold) {tmp.push_back(indices[i]);}}indices = tmp;}return keep;
}// 计算两个矩形的IoU
float compute_iou(const Rect& a, const Rect& b) {int x1 = max(a.x, b.x);int y1 = max(a.y, b.y);int x2 = min(a.x + a.width, b.x + b.width);int y2 = min(a.y + a.height, b.y + b.height);if (x1 >= x2 || y1 >= y2) return 0.0f;float intersection_area = static_cast<float>((x2 - x1) * (y2 - y1));float union_area = static_cast<float>(a.width * a.height + b.width * b.height - intersection_area);return intersection_area / union_area;
}

def compute_nms_manual(boxes, scores, iou_threshold=0.5):"""手动实现非极大值抑制算法参数:boxes: 边界框坐标列表，每个框为[x1, y1, x2, y2]格式scores: 每个边界框对应的置信度分数iou_threshold: IoU阈值，默认0.5返回:keep: 保留的边界框索引列表"""# 计算所有框的面积x1 = boxes[:, 0]y1 = boxes[:, 1]x2 = boxes[:, 2]y2 = boxes[:, 3]areas = (x2 - x1) * (y2 - y1)# 根据分数排序order = scores.argsort()[::-1]keep = []while order.size > 0:i = order[0]keep.append(i)if order.size == 1:break# 计算IoUxx1 = np.maximum(x1[i], x1[order[1:]])yy1 = np.maximum(y1[i], y1[order[1:]])xx2 = np.minimum(x2[i], x2[order[1:]])yy2 = np.minimum(y2[i], y2[order[1:]])w = np.maximum(0.0, xx2 - xx1)h = np.maximum(0.0, yy2 - yy1)inter = w * hovr = inter / (areas[i] + areas[order[1:]] - inter)# 保留IoU小于阈值的框inds = np.where(ovr <= iou_threshold)[0]order = order[inds + 1]return keep

6. 目标跟踪

6.1 基本原理

目标跟踪就像是侦探持续追踪重要线索，需要考虑：

1. 运动预测
2. 特征匹配
3. 轨迹平滑
4. 遮挡处理

6.2 实现示例

// 简单的目标跟踪器实现
vector<DetectionResult> track_objects(const Mat& src,const Mat& prev,const vector<DetectionResult>& prev_boxes) {vector<DetectionResult> curr_boxes;// 计算光流vector<Point2f> prev_points, curr_points;for (const auto& det : prev_boxes) {prev_points.push_back(Point2f(static_cast<float>(det.bbox.x + det.bbox.width/2),static_cast<float>(det.bbox.y + det.bbox.height/2)));}vector<uchar> status;vector<float> err;calcOpticalFlowPyrLK(prev, src, prev_points, curr_points, status, err);// 更新检测框位置for (size_t i = 0; i < prev_boxes.size(); i++) {if (status[i]) {DetectionResult det = prev_boxes[i];float dx = curr_points[i].x - prev_points[i].x;float dy = curr_points[i].y - prev_points[i].y;det.bbox.x += static_cast<int>(dx);det.bbox.y += static_cast<int>(dy);curr_boxes.push_back(det);}}return curr_boxes;
}// 可视化检测结果
Mat draw_detections(const Mat& src,const vector<DetectionResult>& detections) {Mat img_display = src.clone();if (img_display.channels() == 1) {cvtColor(img_display, img_display, COLOR_GRAY2BGR);}for (const auto& det : detections) {Scalar color;if (det.class_id == 1) {  // 行人color = Scalar(0, 255, 0);} else if (det.class_id == 2) {  // 人脸color = Scalar(0, 0, 255);} else {color = Scalar(255, 0, 0);}// 绘制边界框rectangle(img_display, det.bbox, color, 2);// 绘制标签和置信度string label = format("%s %.2f", det.label.c_str(), det.confidence);int baseline = 0;Size text_size = getTextSize(label, FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX,0.5, 1, &baseline);rectangle(img_display,Point(det.bbox.x, det.bbox.y - text_size.height - 5),Point(det.bbox.x + text_size.width, det.bbox.y),color, -1);putText(img_display, label,Point(det.bbox.x, det.bbox.y - 5),FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.5, Scalar(255, 255, 255), 1);}return img_display;
}

def object_tracking(img_path, video_path=None):"""简单的目标跟踪实现参数:img_path: 输入图像路径video_path: 视频路径（可选）返回:跟踪结果可视化"""# 读取图像img = cv2.imread(img_path)result = img.copy()# 转换为HSV颜色空间hsv = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)# 定义目标颜色范围（以红色为例）lower_red = np.array([0, 50, 50])upper_red = np.array([10, 255, 255])# 创建掩码mask = cv2.inRange(hsv, lower_red, upper_red)# 寻找轮廓contours, _ = cv2.findContours(mask, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)if contours:# 找到最大的轮廓c = max(contours, key=cv2.contourArea)x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(c)cv2.rectangle(result, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2)return result

7. 代码实现与优化

7.1 性能优化技巧

1. 使用积分图像加速特征计算
2. GPU加速大规模计算
3. 多线程并行处理
4. 特征金字塔缓存

7.2 优化示例

// 使用积分图像优化特征计算
class IntegralFeature {
private:Mat integralImg;Mat integralSqImg;public:void compute(const Mat& img) {integral(img, integralImg, integralSqImg);}float getSum(const Rect& r) const {return integralImg.at<double>(r.y+r.height,r.x+r.width)+ integralImg.at<double>(r.y,r.x)- integralImg.at<double>(r.y,r.x+r.width)- integralImg.at<double>(r.y+r.height,r.x);}float getVariance(const Rect& r) const {float area = r.width * r.height;float sum = getSum(r);float sqSum = getSqSum(r);return (sqSum - sum*sum/area) / area;}
};
