Cascaded classifiers are frequently used for object detection tasks. The base classifiers in a cascaded classifier can be of any type but the types of features used by these classifiers have a strong impact on the performance of the cascaded classifier. In this paper we present a method for the extraction of multiple features inside a rectangular region relying on integral images. The rectangular regions are chosen in a classifier training process and are sensitive to the geometrical properties of an object while the features extracted inside the regions are sensitive to structural characteristics. In combination with a cascaded classifier this results in a large variety of features sensitive to the geometrical as well as structural properties. Our experimental evaluation shows that a combination of both tensor and intensity based features with a specific normalization method yields the best performance of the examined approaches.
