Pedestrian Detection Approach for Driver Assisted System using Haar based Cascade Classifiers

Object detection and tracking with the aid of computer vision is a most challenging task in the context of Driver Assistant System (DAS) for vehicles. This paper presents pedestrians detection techique using Haar-Like Features. The main aim of this research is to develop a detection system for vehicle drivers that will intimate them in advance for pedestrian’s movement when they are crossing the zebra region or passing nearby to it along the road. For this purpose, dataset of 1000 images have been taken via CCTV camera which was mounted for road monitoring. A Haar based cascade classifiers have been implemented over images. And system is trained for positive (with people) and negative (without people) image samples, respectively. After testing, the obtained results show that it attained 90% accuracy while pedestrian detection. The proposed work provides significant contribution in order to reduce the road accidents as well as ensure the safety measurement for road management.
