Pedestrian collision avoidance systems: a survey of computer vision based recent studies

This paper gives a survey of recent research on pedestrian collision avoidance systems. Collision avoidance not only requires detection of pedestrians, but also collision prediction using pedestrian dynamics and behavior analysis. The paper reviews various approaches based on cues such as shape, motion, and stereo used for detecting pedestrians from visible as well as non-visible light sensors. This is followed by the study of research dealing with probabilistic modeling of pedestrian behavior for predicting collisions between pedestrian and vehicle. The literature review is also condensed in tabular form for quick reference
