Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for detecting one or more targets belonging to a first class (e.g., moving and/or stationary people), from a moving platform in a 3D-rich environment. The framework described here is implemented using a number of monocular or stereo cameras distributed around the vehicle to provide 360 degrees coverage. Furthermore, the framework described here utilizes numerous filters to reduce the number of false positive identifications of the targets.
