Shape-based pedestrian detection and localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a vision-based system for detecting and localizing pedestrians in road environments by means of a statistical technique. Initially, attentive vision techniques relying on the search for specific characteristics of pedestrians such as vertical symmetry and strong presence of edges, allow to select interesting regions likely to contain pedestrians. These regions are then used to estimate the localization of pedestrians using a Kalman filter estimator.

TWO-STAGE METHOD FOR DAMAGE LOCALIZATION AND QUANTIFICATION IN HIGH-RISE SHEAR FRAMES BASED ON THE FIRST MODE SHAPE SLOPE
In this paper, a two-stage method for damage detection and estimation in tall shear frames is presented. This method is based on the first mode shape of a shear frame. We demonstrate that the first mode shape slope is very sensitive to the story stiffness. Thus, at the first stage, by using the grey system theory on the first mode shape slope, damage locations are identified in shear frames. Da...

This work presents the vision-based system for detecting pedestrians in road environments implemented on the ARGO prototype vehicle developed by the University of Parma. The system is aimed at the localization of pedestrians in various poses, positions and clothing, and is not limited to moving people. Initially, attentive vision techniques relying on the search for specific characteristics of ...

This paper describes the research activities for the localization of human shapes using visual information carried on at the University of Parma, Italy, in the frame of a common project with the TACOM Department of U. S. Army. The paper proposes the application of a stereoscopic technique as a preprocessing for the localization of humans in generic unstructured environments. Each row of the lef...
متن کاملPedestrian Detection in Infrared Outdoor Images Based on Atmospheric Situation Estimation
Observation in absolute darkness and daytime under every atmospheric situation is one of the advantages of thermal imaging systems. In spite of increasing trend of using these systems, there are still lots of difficulties in analysing thermal images due to the variable features of pedestrians and atmospheric situations. In this paper an efficient method is proposed for detecting pedestrians in ...
