Method of Detecting Road Pedestrian Based on Video
Xiaoping Zhu · Video Engineering · 2012
An approach for detecting road pedestrian based on traffic video is proposed.Firstly,self-adaptive background updating algorithm is used to detect moving target.Then,the characters of pedestrian's outline and linear relationship between the height of pedestrian in pixels and actual distance are adopted to extract pedestrian.In addition,the center of pedestrian gravity is taken to track moving pedestrian,and the speed is obtained.Finally,the speed of the pedestrian features is combined to achieve the pedestrian target detection.Experimental results show that this method,with reasonably real-time performance and robustness,can detect the pedestrian appearing in traffic scene,and effectively solve the influence of shelter by moving vehicles and illumination change.
