Instance-based location estimation algorithm for a pedestrian in multiple color dynamic images

Location estimation algorithm for a pedestrian is proposed for the real surveillance system based on color instances with color dynamic images under low illumination, where the proposed color instances consist of color-difference, moving possibility region, and previous detection objects in edge region using time series data. It provides useful detection result for too low illuminated situation. Experimental results for dynamic image taken under low illumination in streets show that detected frames with the proposed algorithm increase by 20% compared with detection result without color instances. The proposed algorithm is under consideration for use in a relatively poor security downtown area in Japan.
