Application of image-to-image translation in improving pedestrian detection
This addresses pedestrian safety in low-light environments, but it is incremental as it combines existing methods on a new dataset.
The study tackled pedestrian detection in low-light conditions by applying image-to-image translation using pix2pixGAN and YOLOv7 on the LLVIP dataset, achieving improved detection results with concrete numbers from 33672 images in dark scenes.
The lack of effective target regions makes it difficult to perform several visual functions in low intensity light, including pedestrian recognition, and image-to-image translation. In this situation, with the accumulation of high-quality information by the combined use of infrared and visible images it is possible to detect pedestrians even in low light. In this study we are going to use advanced deep learning models like pix2pixGAN and YOLOv7 on LLVIP dataset, containing visible-infrared image pairs for low light vision. This dataset contains 33672 images and most of the images were captured in dark scenes, tightly synchronized with time and location.
