A Pedestrian Detection and Tracking System Based on Video Processing Technology

Pedestrian detection and tracking are widely applied to intelligent video surveillance, intelligent transportation, automotive autonomous driving or driving-assistance systems. We select OpenCV as the development tool for implementation of pedestrian detection, tracking, counting and risk warning in a video segment. We introduce a low-dimensional soft-output SVM pedestrian classifier to implement precise pedestrian detection. Experiments indicate that the system has high recognition accuracy, and can operate in real time.
