What is pedestrian tracking?
Pedestrian Detection (PD) is an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that detects pedestrians (and sometimes bicyclists and pets) in a vehicle's path. Once a risk is detected, Pedestrian Detection provides an audible, visual, or haptic warning to drivers. Some Pedestrian Detection systems just provide a warning.
How does pedestrian detection work?
Uses advanced sensors to detect human movements; some versions may urgently apply the brakes if the driver fails to respond. What It Does: Alerts the driver or automatically brakes if there is a pedestrian in the path between a certain speed range—generally around 25 mph.
Why is pedestrian detection important?
Pedestrian detection is an essential and significant task in any intelligent video surveillance system, as it provides the fundamental information for semantic understanding of the video footages. It has an obvious extension to automotive applications due to the potential for improving safety systems.
When was pedestrian detection invented?
In 2011, Volvo introduced the first pedestrian detection mitigation system available in the U.S. This system used both radar and image sensors to detect possible collisions with pedestrians as well as rear-end collisions with other vehicles and motorcycles.
