Building Pedestrian Contour Hierarchies for Improving Detection in Traffic Scenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new method for extracting pedestrian contours from images using 2D and 3D information obtained from a stereo-vision acquisition system. Two pedestrian contour types are extracted. First is obtained from static pedestrian confidence images using fixed background scenes and second from general traffic scenes having variable background. A robust approach for building contour hierarchies of these contours is then presented. First hierarchy is built of ”perfect” contours extracted from fixed background scenes and the second one is built of ”imperfect” contours extracted from images with variable background. The objective is to evaluate the two hierarchies in order to identify the best one for real time pedestrian detection.

Potential measurement of pedestrian traffic in Kashan city with emphasis on urban planning indicators
According to Jane Jacobs, the main part of the concept of "street life" lies in its pedestrians. From his point of view, these are busy and vibrant walkways that give meaning to the city center by providing a social interactive environment. The existence of communities to achieve sustainable transport goals is obvious because it improves displacement, reduces the negative environmental impacts...

During the last decade, modern Pedestrian Detection Systems made massive use of the steadily growing numbers of high-performance image acquisition sensors. Within our naturalistic driving environment, a lot of different and heterogeneous scenes occur that are caused by varying illumination and weather conditions. Unfortunately, current systems do not work properly under these hardened condition...

With the increase of requirement for improving the safety of night driving, automatic pedestrian detection has received more and more attraction. This paper mainly introduces a pedestrian detection method in infrared images. Base on the properties of infrared images, we present a two-step pedestrian detection method including pedestrian candidate selection and validation. The first step is loca...
متن کاملAutomatic detection and tracking of pedestrians from a moving stereo rig
We report on a stereo system for 3D detection and tracking of pedestrians in urban traffic scenes. The system is built around a probabilistic environment model which fuses evidence from dense 3D reconstruction and image-based pedestrian detection into a consistent interpretation of the observed scene, and a multi-hypothesis tracker to reconstruct the pedestrians’ trajectories in 3D coordinates ...
