Abstract

Improving pedestrian detection accuracy under conditions of insufficient light at night is a priority for automatic driving. The clarity of conventional visible images at night cannot be as good as that during the daytime. In contrast, the images captured by infrared cameras are almost unaffected by ambient light changes, but there are also defects of not apparent texture features. Therefore, the pedestrian characteristics can be enhanced by combining the thermal and the visible images, which are not affected by the ambient heat. There have been many types of research on pixel-level image fusion in medical diagnosis, military enhancement and navigation, and it has an excellent application value. In this paper, pixel-level fusion method is applied to the fusion of thermal and visible images, and tests on the pedestrian Dataset CVC-14 acquired in a real-world environment. The YOLOV5 method, which has significant advantages in recognition speed and application flexibility, was used for detection. The experimental results showed that the average recognition accuracy and iteration speed was superior to that of the source image. The performance of maximum fusion, principal component analysis (PCA) fusion based on thermal imaging, and weighted average fusion was outstanding. The method proposed in this paper is not complicated and widely applied, which can be improved by other researchers based on this direction.
基于图像融合的夜间行人检测方法
在夜间光线不足的情况下,提高行人检测精度是自动驾驶的首要任务。常规可见光图像在夜间的清晰度不如白天。相比之下,红外摄像机拍摄的图像几乎不受环境光变化的影响,但也存在纹理特征不明显的缺陷。因此,结合热成像和可见光图像,可以增强行人特征,不受环境热量的影响。像素级图像融合在医学诊断、军事增强和导航等方面的研究已经有很多,具有很好的应用价值。本文将像素级融合方法应用于热图像和可见光图像的融合,并在真实环境中获取的行人数据集CVC-14上进行了测试。采用在识别速度和应用灵活性方面具有显著优势的YOLOV5方法进行检测。实验结果表明,该算法的平均识别精度和迭代速度均优于源图像。最大融合、基于热成像的主成分分析(PCA)融合和加权平均融合表现突出。本文提出的方法不复杂,应用范围广,其他研究人员可以在此方向上进行改进。
