A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

ABSTRACT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PEDESTRIAN DETECTION The present invention describes method and system for pedestrian detection during daytime. The method comprises detecting edges between object boundaries in a captured image based on color data, linking the edges by detecting missing links between object boundaries based on identifying and filling broken links, segmenting the image based on color edge labeling, removing clutter in the segmented image, determining at least one of a leg pattern and head region, and classifying the object in the image as one of a pedestrian object and non-pedestrian object in the image based on the determination of the at least one of a leg pattern and head region. The system comprises a pre-processing module, a segmenting module, a post-processing module, a detection module, a classification module, and a tracking module. The pre-processing module comprises an edge detecting module, and an edge linking module. Figure 2
