A New Region Proposal Network for Far-Infrared Pedestrian Detection

Far infrared pedestrian detection and tracking for night driving

6 This paper presents a module for pedestrian detection from a 7 moving vehicle in low-light conditions. The algorithm make 8 use of a single far infrared camera based on a microbolometer. 9 Images of the area ahead of the vehicle are analyzed 10 to determine if any pedestrian might be in its trajectory. 11 Detection is achieved by searching for distributions of 12 temperatures in the scene sim...

Pedestrian Detection and Tracking Based on Far Infrared Visual Information

This article discusses a pedestrian detector for an experimental vehicle, based on visual information from a single far infrared camera. The system considers three consecutive processes for each image. Once the candidates’ heads have been extracted, regions of interest are resized based on the distance to the camera and then filtered by its vertical edges symmetry. Once the bounding boxes of po...

Development of Pedestrian Detection System Using Far-Infrared Ray Camera

Driver assistance systems are being developed by automakers as mean to reduce traffic accidents. For examples, night vision systems that warn drivers of pedestrians during nighttime driving and pre-crash safety systems for collision mitigation have been commercialized in recent years, indicating that pedestrian detection will become an important function for driver assistance systems in the nea...

Pedestrian Detection with near and Far Infrared Night Vision Enhancement

Pedestrian detection by means of far-infrared stereo vision

This article presents a stereo system for the detection of pedestrians using far-infrared cameras. Since pedestrian detection in far-infrared images can be difficult in some environmental conditions, the system exploits three different detection approaches: warm area detection, edge-based detection, and disparity computation. A final validation process is performed using head morphological and ...
