Shape-based Pedestrian Detection∗

چکیده
This paper presents the method for detecting pedestrian recently implemented on the ARGO vehicle. The perception of the environment is performed through the sole processing of images acquired from a vision system installed on board of the vehicle: the analysis of a monocular image delivers a first coarse detection, while a distance refinement is performed thanks to a stereo vision technique.

An Evaluation of Local Shape-Based Features for Pedestrian Detection
Pedestrian detection in real world scenes is a challenging problem. In recent years a variety of approaches have been proposed, and impressive results have been reported on a variety of databases. This paper systematically evaluates (1) various local shape descriptors, namely Shape Context and Local Chamfer descriptor and (2) four different interest point detectors for the detection of pedestri...
متن کاملShape-based Pedestrian Detection in Infrared Images
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 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 ...
متن کاملA Novel Two-Level Shape Descriptor for Pedestrian Detection
The demand for pedestrian detection and tracking algorithms is rapidly increasing with applications in security systems, human computer interaction and human activity analysis. A pedestrian is a person standing in an upright position. Previous work involves using various types of image descriptors to detect humans. However, the existing approaches, although exhibit low misdetection rate, result...
متن کاملPedestrian Shape Extraction by Means of Active Contours
This article presents a shape extraction and results of a preliminary validation stage for a pedestrian detection system based on the use of active contours. The complete system is based on the use of both far infrared and visible cameras to detect areas that potentially contain pedestrians; in order to validate and filter such result a refinement of the human shape by means of active contours ...
