This paper presents a method for pedestrian detection and tracking using a single night-vision video camera installed on the vehicle. To deal with the nonrigid nature of human appearance on the road, a two-step detection/tracking method is proposed. The detection phase is performed by a support vector machine (SVM) with size-normalized pedestrian candidates and the tracking phase is a combination of Kalman filter prediction and mean shift tracking. The detection phase is further strengthened by information obtained by a road-detection module that provides key information for pedestrian validation. Experimental comparisons (e.g., grayscale SVM recognition versus binary SVM recognition and entire-body detection versus upper-body detection) have been carried out to illustrate the feasibility of our approach.
