Abstract
Objects in an image are classified by applying an appearance classifier to the image to determine candidates of the objects and statistics associated with the candidates, wherein the appearance classifier uses a set of windows, and the candidates are in selected windows. Then, a context classifier is applied only to the selected windows of the image to determine an identity, and location of objects in the image.
