Pedestrians’ detection in thermal bands – Critical survey

Thermal imaging is simply the technique of using the heat given off by an object to produce an image of it or locate it. New thermal imaging frameworks for detection, segmentation and unique feature extraction and similarity measurements for human physiological biometrics recognition have been intro...

More Information
Summary:Thermal imaging is simply the technique of using the heat given off by an object to produce an image of it or locate it. New thermal imaging frameworks for detection, segmentation and unique feature extraction and similarity measurements for human physiological biometrics recognition have been introduced in literature. The research investigates specialized algorithms that would use the individual's heat signature for human detection, crowd counting and applications that take benefits of this new technology. The highly accurate results obtained by the algorithms presented clearly demonstrate the ability of the thermal infrared systems to extend in application to other thermal imaging based systems.
