Pedestrian detection is one of the important topics in computer vision with key applications in various fields of human life such as intelligent vehicles, surveillance and advanced robotics. In recent years, research related to pedestrian detection commonplace. This paper aims to review the papers related to pedestrian detection in order to provide an overview of the recent research. Main contr...

User focused pedestrian facility planning requires an understanding of pedestrian behavior and needs. Analysis presented here has considered user attributes primarily from the point of view of stage of life of the person. User needs have been measured through responses to ten opinion statements. The primary field survey was conducted in Japan, in five cities of different sizes. A secondary surv...

this research paper lays stress on philosophies of human desire. all the human being has some psychical need in addition to physical needs. and to satisfy the psychical needs, there is a need for stimulants, more in case of exclusive pedestrian precincts. having exclusively pedestrian precincts/cores in city design draws its inspiration from the fact that public zones, accessible to majority of...

Building a reliable predictive model of pedestrian motion is very challenging: Ideally, such models should be based on observations made in both controlled experiments and in real-world environments. De facto, models are rarely based on real-world observations due to the lack of available data; instead, they are largely based on intuition and, at best, literature values and laboratory experimen...

Pedestrian detection is a key problem in computer vision, with several applications that have the potential to positively impact the quality of life. This paper describes a comprehensive combination of feature extraction methods for vision-based pedestrian detection and tracking in Intelligent Systems based on monocular vision. First, we detect the pedestrian using Integral Channel Features and...

Large environments that are designed for travel, leisure, and for everyday life – such as transport hubs, amusement parks, and shopping centers – feature different locations that are frequently visited by pedestrians. Each visit is evoked by one’s motivation to engage in some kind of activity at a certain location. By means of modeling the pedestrians’ interests in locations with the aid of com...

pedestrian streets as one type of urban public spaces have an important role in improving the quality of urban life. in iran, planning and designing of pedestrian streets is in its primary steps. in spite of starting this approach in iran, and designing several pedestrian streets, there are still not organized studies about quality assessment of pedestrian streets. as a result, the strength and...
