Low-light Pedestrian Detection in Visible and Infrared Image Feeds: Issues and Challenges
Pedestrian detection has become a cornerstone for several high-level tasks,
including autonomous driving, intelligent transportation, and traffic
surveillance. There are several works focussed on pedestrian detection using
visible images, mainly in the daytime. However, this task is very intriguing
when the environmental conditions change to poor lighting or nighttime.
Recently, new ideas have been spurred to use alternative sources, such as Far
InfraRed (FIR) temperature sensor feeds for detecting pedestrians in low-light
conditions. This study comprehensively reviews recent developments in low-light
pedestrian detection approaches. It systematically categorizes and analyses
various algorithms from region-based to non-region-based and graph-based
learning methodologies by highlighting their methodologies, implementation
issues, and challenges. It also outlines the key benchmark datasets that can be
used for research and development of advanced pedestrian detection algorithms,
particularly in low-light situation
