Abstract

Nowadays, pedestrian recognition in far-infrared images toward realizing a night vision system becomes a hot topic. However, sufficient performance could not be achieved by conventional schemes for pedestrian recognition in far-infrared images. Since the properties of far-infrared images are different from visible images, it is not known what kind of scheme is suitable for pedestrian recognition in far-infrared images. In this paper, a novel pedestrian recognition scheme combining boosting-based detection and skeleton-based stochastic tracking suitable for recognition in far-infrared images is proposed. Experimental results by using far-infrared sequences show the proposed scheme achieves highly accurate pedestrian recognition by combining accurate detection with few false positives and accurate tracking.
