Pedestrian Detection

It involves the semantic interpretation of video footage in the motor vehicle industry in order to improve safety systems. Pedestrian detection is achieved in five different ways each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In Holistic detection, detectors search for pedestrians in the video by scanning the whole frame. In part-based detection, pedestrians are demonstrated as collections of parts. Other methods of detection used are patch-based detection, motion-based detection and use of multiple cameras.
