Outline

This paper reviews recent research trends in pedestrian detection in low-light environments. Although there are many studies on pedestrian detection using visible-light images during the day, they are difficult in low-light or nighttime environments. This paper examines recent research on utilizing far-infrared (FIR) temperature sensor data as an alternative for pedestrian detection in low-light environments. We systematically classify and analyze various algorithms such as region-based, region-less, and graph-based learning methodologies, and emphasize the methodology, implementation issues, and challenges of each algorithm. In addition, we present key benchmark datasets that can be used for research and development of advanced pedestrian detection algorithms, especially in low-light situations.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways: Comprehensively analyzes the latest trends in pedestrian detection algorithms in low-light environments and suggests research directions. Comparatively analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of various algorithms to help future research and development. Introduces a benchmark dataset for low-light pedestrian detection to increase the reproducibility and comparability of the research.
Limitations: This paper focuses on the review of research trends, so it does not present new algorithms. There is a lack of performance comparison of the analyzed algorithms, and there may be a lack of specific comparative analysis of advantages and disadvantages of utilizing far-infrared sensor data. It may end up as a general explanation rather than an in-depth analysis of a specific algorithm.
