description | In recent years, there has been increased interest in multispectral pedestrian detection using visible and infrared image pairs. This is due to the complementary visual information provided by these modalities, which enhances the robustness and reliability of pedestrian detection systems. However, current research in multispectral pedestrian detection faces the challenge of effectively integrating different modalities to reduce miss rates in the system. This article presents an improved method for multispectral pedestrian detection. The method utilises a saliency detection technique to modify the infrared image and obtain an infrared-enhanced map with clear pedestrian features. Subsequently, a multiscale image features fusion network is designed to efficiently fuse visible and IR-enhanced maps. Finally, the fusion network is supervised by three loss functions for illumination perception, light intensity, and texture information in conjunction with the light perception sub-network. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method improves the logarithmic mean miss rate for the three main subgroups (all day, day and night) to 3.12%, 3.06%, and 4.13% respectively, at “reasonable” settings. This is an improvement over the traditional method, which achieved rates of 3.11%, 2.77%, and 2.56% respectively, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
