 ABSTRACT

Pedestrian detection is the task of finding people in images and videos. It is a

challenging task because people can look very different, depending on their
clothes, pose, and lighting. Pedestrian detection is used in many applications,
such as self-driving cars, security systems, and robotics.

To build a pedestrian detection system, you can use the following steps:

1. Collect a dataset of images or videos containing pedestrians. This

dataset will be used to train your system to detect pedestrians.
2. Choose a pedestrian detection algorithm. There are many different
algorithms available, both open-source and commercial. You can
choose an algorithm that is appropriate for your specific application
and the available resources.
3. Train the pedestrian detection algorithm on your dataset. This involves
feeding the dataset to the algorithm and allowing it to learn to detect
pedestrians.
4. Evaluate the pedestrian detection algorithm on a held-out test set. This
will give you an idea of how well the algorithm will perform on new
data.
5. Deploy the pedestrian detection system in your application. This may
involve integrating the algorithm into a software system or hardware
device.

VII
Once you have deployed your pedestrian detection system, you may need to
monitor its performance and make adjustments as needed. For example, you
may need to retrain the algorithm on new data or update the algorithm
parameters to improve its performance.

Here is an even simpler explanation:

Pedestrian detection is finding people in pictures and videos.

To build a pedestrian detection system:
1. Collect a bunch of pictures and videos of people.
2. Choose a pedestrian detection algorithm.
3. Train the algorithm on your pictures and videos.
4. Test the algorithm on new pictures and videos.
5. Use the algorithm in your application.

Once you have deployed your pedestrian detection system, you may need to
update it from time to time, so that it can detect people in new and different
situations.

Figure 1: Pedestrian detection accuracy over time: This figure
shows the improvement in pedestrian detection accuracy over time, The
graph shows that pedestrian detection accuracy has improved significantly
in recent years, thanks to advances in deep learning.

Figure 2: Pedestrian detection examples: These images show

examples of pedestrian detection in different environments, such as
streets, sidewalks, and parks. The images show that pedestrian detection
algorithms can be used to detect pedestrians in a variety of conditions,
including different lighting conditions, poses, and clothing.

Figure 3: Pedestrian detection applications: These images show

examples of how pedestrian detection is used in real-world applications.
For example, pedestrian detection is used in self-driving cars to avoid
collisions with pedestrians.
