A STUDY ON RECOGNITION OF PEDESTRIANS USING DUAL BAND RADAR

Much is expected from ITS as activities to solve problems involved in the automobile traffic environment today. There is “human-friendly vehicle ” among those activities. When driving a car on an ordinary road, drivers must pay attention to pedestrians. Our ultimate goal is to have an eye-like capability on a system which would distinguish the pedestrians from other obstacles and provide distinctive information. For this subject, we use a micro-wave & millimeter-wave radar (dual band radar) which can detect obstacle at relatively long distance even in conditions of poor visibility, and carried out a feasibility study of a pedestrian detection sensor using a unique characteristic in reflection and absorption with respect to frequency
