Pedestrian detection is an important task in many intelligent systems, particularly driver assistance systems. Recent studies on pedestrian detection in infrared (IR) imagery have employed data-driven approaches. However, two problems in deep learning-based detection are the implicit performance and time-consuming training. In this paper, a novel channel expansion technique based on feature fusion is proposed to enhance the IR imagery and accelerate the training process. Besides, a novel background suppression method is proposed to stimulate the attention principle of human vision and shrink the region of detection. A precise fusion algorithm is designed to combine the information from different visual saliency maps in order to reduce the effect of truncation and miss detection. Four different experiments are performed from various perspectives in order to gauge the efficiency of our approach. The experimental results show that the Mean Average Precisions (mAPs) of four different datasets have been increased by 5.22% on average. The results prove that background suppression and suitable feature expansion will accelerate the training process and enhance the performance of IR image-based deep learning models.

“…Their dataset documents the research goal of controlling the pan-and-tilt of a thermal camera for human body segmentation of a 3D occupancy grid built from motion estimations, panoramic RGB images and depth information. Apart from that, existing thermal image datasets do not address SAR but other applications such as nighttime pedestrian detection (Xu et al, 2019) and surveillance (Krišto and Ivsić-Kos, 2019), where performance can be improved with multispectral combinations of color and thermal cameras, as in the KAIST dataset (Choi et al, 2018).…”

This article presents a collection of multimodal raw data captured from a manned all-terrain vehicle in the course of two realistic outdoor search and rescue (SAR) exercises for actual emergency responders conducted in Málaga (Spain) in 2018 and 2019: the UMA-SAR dataset. The sensor suite, applicable to unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), consisted of overlapping visible light (RGB) and thermal infrared (TIR) forward-looking monocular cameras, a Velodyne HDL-32 three-dimensional (3D) lidar, as well as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and two global positioning system (GPS) receivers as ground truth. Our mission was to collect a wide range of data from the SAR domain, including persons, vehicles, debris, and SAR activity on unstructured terrain. In particular, four data sequences were collected following closed-loop routes during the exercises, with a total path length of 5.2 km and a total time of 77 min. In addition, we provide three more sequences of the empty site for comparison purposes (an extra 4.9 km and 46 min). Furthermore, the data is offered both in human-readable format and as rosbag files, and two specific software tools are provided for extracting and adapting this dataset to the users’ preference. The review of previously published disaster robotics repositories indicates that this dataset can contribute to fill a gap regarding visual and thermal datasets and can serve as a research tool for cross-cutting areas such as multispectral image fusion, machine learning for scene understanding, person and object detection, and localization and mapping in unstructured environments. The full dataset is publicly available at: www.uma.es/robotics-and-mechatronics/sar-datasets .
