Abstract
Reliable detection and classification of vulnerable road users constitute a critical issue on safety/protection systems for intelligent vehicles driving in urban zones. In this subject, most of the perception systems have LIDAR and/or Radar as primary detection modules and vision-based systems for object classification. This work, on the other hand, presents a valuable analysis of pedestrian detection in urban scenario using exclusively LIDAR-based features. The aim is to explore how much information can be extracted from LIDAR sensors for pedestrian detection. Moreover, this study will be useful to compose multi-sensor based pedestrian detection systems using not only LIDAR but also vision sensors. Experimental results using our data set and a detailed classification performance analysis are presented, with comparisons among various classification techniques.
