Dense Stereo-Based ROI Generation for Pedestrian Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the benefit of dense stereo for the ROI generation stage of a pedestrian detection system. Dense disparity maps allow an accurate estimation of the camera height, pitch angle and vertical road profile, which in turn enables a more precise specification of the areas on the ground where pedestrians are to be expected. An experimental comparison between sparse and dense stereo approaches is carried out on image data captured in complex urban environments (i.e. undulating roads, speed bumps). The ROI generation stage, based on dense stereo and specific camera and road parameter estimation, results in a detection performance improvement of factor five over the stateof-the-art based on ROI generation by sparse stereo. Interestingly, the added processing cost of computing dense disparity maps is at least partially amortized by the fewer ROIs that need to be processed at the system level.

Automatic 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 ...
متن کاملIn-vehicle Pedestrian Detection Using Stereo Vision Technology
In the last 3 decades, between 4378 (in 2008) and 8090 (in 1979) pedestrians were killed each year in motor vehicle related crashes, representing 11% to 17% of the total roadway fatalities. Although the numbers of pedestrian deaths have been in decline steadily since 1980, their distributions have become more and more concentrated in urban areas. There is an urgent need to develop reliable pede...
متن کاملSuperpixels in Pedestrian Detection from Stereo Images in Urban Traffic Scenarios
Pedestrian detection is a common task in every driving assistance system. The main goal resides in obtaining a high accuracy detection in a reasonable amount of processing time. This paper proposes a novel method for superpixel-based pedestrian hypotheses generation and their validation through feature classification. We analyze the possibility of using superpixels in pedestrian detection by in...
متن کاملDense stereo based critical area detection for an active pedestrian protection system
An active pedestrian protection system is required to operate in realtime and produce an extremely low false alarm. To achieve these requirements, Broggi et al. detected critical areas using a laser scanner and found pedestrians only in these areas via a camera. However, using heterogeneous sensors requires complicated system architecture and laser scanners have drawbacks in terms of installabi...
متن کامل3D-Guided Multiscale Sliding Window for Pedestrian Detection
The most relevant modules of a pedestrian detector are the candidate generation and the candidate classification. The former aims at presenting image windows to the latter so that they are classified as containing a pedestrian or not. Much attention has being paid to the classification module, while candidate generation has mainly relied on (multiscale) sliding window pyramid. However, candidat...
