This paper proposed a vehicle-mountable method where the parameters indicating the characteristic features of pedestrians are extracted to detect pedestrians. By processing stereo images, this method can detect pedestrians who are crossing the road in front of a vehicle. In tests conducted with this method, a pedestrian was detected 50 m in front of the host vehicle, and the distance to the pedestrian and the person's position were outputted at a 100 ms cycle. Accordingly, this method was incorporated in an experimental pedestrian warning system that alerts the driver to a potential collision with a pedestrian. This system was demonstrated at the Smart Cruise Demo 2000 demonstration conducted at the end of November 2000. The pedestrian detection technology described here has so far been used in tests conducted where there are relatively few objects in the surrounding environment. Tasks for future work include further examination of both the sensors and detection logic for developing pedestrian detection technology capable of being used in real-world driving environments.
