Integrated Stereo Infrared and Color Human Detection on the ART platform

Abstract

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing this collection of information. This report presents the research activities within the framework of N62558-05-P-0380 contract for the development of a Human Shape localization system by means of a 4 cameras vision system consisting of 2 daylight and 2 far infrared cameras.The main idea is to exploit the advantages of both far infrared and visible cameras to develop a system that combines the advantages of using far infrared or daylight technologies.In particular, this report details a system for detecting pedestrians using histogram of oriented gradients by means of support vector machines. SUBJECT TERMS AbstractThis report presents the research work developed under contract number N62558-07-P-0029 with the aim of localizing human shapes using two stereo systems consisting of two daylight and two far-infrared (FIR) cameras.
