Mobile Automatic Pedestrian Detection – ETH Zuerich
At ETH Zuerich a mobile version of pedestrian detection was developed. It is demonstrated in a clip that featured in a blog post over at technology review. It is stunning how accurate the software is able to distinguish between individuals in these rather crowded scenes. Plus, all is mobile, the camera is mounted in a car and presumably the software runs the analysis live, including these nice little trails the pedestrians leave behind.
Technology was developed by researches from the Computer Vision Laboratory at ETH Zuerich in a collaboration with Toyota.
