We present a monocular night-vision system developed for detecting pedestrians in darkness. The system uses a Far-Infrared (FIR) camera which requires no active illumination. Heat emitted by the human body causes pedestrians to appear as bright objects, making it possible to detect pedestrians in the absence of any natural or artificial lighting. The system features three main modules: image enhancement, pedestrian detection, and a warning strategy. The presented system greatly increases the driver's range of sight at night, and the automatic warning of pedestrians further improves the usability.
