Pedestrian detection

Pedestrian detection by a car is usually performed by camera-based systems, LIDAR or RADAR. The first two systems, based on light propagation, do not work in foggy or low visibility environments, and the latter are expensive and the probability associated with their ability to detect people is low. It is necessary to develop systems that are not based on light propagation, with reduced cost and high probability of pedestrian detection. With this objective in mind, we are working on the development of an active sound system, with a sensor based on a 2D array of MEMS microphones, which can detect and estimate the position of pedestrians, ensuring that a vehicle traveling at up to 50 km/h (urban environments) can stop and avoid a collision.
