A pedestrian detecting system includes a depth capturing unit, an image capturing unit and a composite processing unit. The depth capturing unit is configured to detect and obtain spatial information of a target object. The image capturing unit is configured to capture an image of the target object and recognize the image, thereby obtaining image feature information of the target object. The composite processing unit is electrically connected to the depth capturing unit and the image capturing unit, wherein the composite processing unit is configured to receive the spatial information and the image feature information and to perform a scoring scheme to detect and determine if the target object is a pedestrian. The scoring scheme performs weighted scoring on a spatial confidence and an appearance confidence to obtain a composite scoring value to determine if the target object is the pedestrian.

Pedestrian detecting system

A vision based pedestrian and cyclist detection method includes receiving an input image, calculating a pixel value difference between each pixel and the neighbor pixels thereof, quantifying the pixel value difference as a weight of pixel, proceeding statistics for the pixel value differences and the weights, determining intersections of the statistics as a feature of the input image, classifying the feature into human feature and non-human feature, confirming the human feature belonging to cyclist according to the spatial relationship between the human feature and the detected two-wheeled vehicle, and retaining one detection result for each cyclist by suppressing other weaker spatial relationships between the human feature and the detected two-wheeled vehicle.

Vision based pedestrian and cyclist detection method

A pedestrian detection system and method includes: dividing an image to a plurality of granules, and counting magnitude difference value of each granule in diagonal orientation to obtain features of HOGG. And the HOGG and the HOG captured can work together to improve the detection rate and reduce the false alarm rate, which is the ultimate goal of the vision based pedestrian detection.

Pedestrian detection systems and methods

A pedestrian detector includes an image-taking mechanism and an image analyzer. The image-taking mechanism is provided on a vehicle and used to take an image in front of the vehicle. The image analyzer is connected to the image-taking mechanism and used to receive the image from the image-taking mechanism and analyze the image to determine whether the image conforms to a pedestrian to determine whether there is a pedestrian in front of the vehicle.
