Pedestrian detection at night time in FIR domain: Comprehensive study about temperature and brightness and new benchmark

作者：

Highlights：

• The seasonal temperature-based pedestrian detection database was constructed.

• The seasonal brightness and temperature of the pedestrians at night were analyzed.

• The proposed temperature-based method outperforms the brightness-based baseline.

• The normalized physical temperature enhances the pedestrian detection performance.
