• Abstract: It is critical for vehicles to prevent any collisions with pedestrians. Current methods for pedestrian collision prevention focus on integrating visual pedestrian detectors with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems which can trigger warnings and apply brakes as a pedestrian enters a vehicle's path. Unfortunately, pedestrian-detection-based systems can be hindered in certain situations such as night-time or when pedestrians are occluded. Our system addresses such issues using an online, map-based pedestrian detection aggregation system where common pedestrian locations are learned after repeated passes of locations. Using a carefully collected and annotated dataset in La Jolla, CA, we demonstrate the system's ability to learn pedestrian zones and generate advisory notices when a vehicle is approaching a pedestrian despite challenges like dark lighting or pedestrian occlusion. Using the number of correct advisories, false advisories, and missed advisories to define precision and recall performance metrics, we evaluate our system and discuss future positive effects with further data collection. We have made our code available at https://github.com/s7desai/ped-mapping, and a video demonstration of the CHAMP system at https://youtu.be/dxeCrS_Gpkw.

  We propose an environment model that includes the position of the pedestrians as well as their pose information. We extract the skeletal information with a neural network human pose estimator from the image. To obtain the 3D information of the position, we aggregate the data from consecutive frames in conjunction with the vehicle position.

• CHAMP: Crowdsourced, History-Based Advisory of Mapped Pedestrians for Safer Driver Assistance Systems [0.0]
  CHAMP (Crowdsourced, History-based Advisories of Mapped Pedestrians) learns pedestrian zones and generates advisory notices when a vehicle is approaching a pedestrian. We collect and carefully annotated pedestrian data in La Jolla, CA to construct training and test sets of pedestrian locations. This approach can be tuned such that we achieve a maximum of 100% precision and 75% recall on the experimental dataset.

  Accurately detecting and tracking pedestrians in 3D space is challenging due to large variations in rotations, poses and scales. Existing benchmarks either only provide 2D annotations, or have limited 3D annotations with low-density pedestrian distribution. We introduce a large-scale multimodal dataset, STCrowd, to better evaluate pedestrian perception algorithms in crowded scenarios.
