Apparatus and method for detecting pedestrians

Abstract

Provided is an image processing apparatus for detecting pedestrians. The image processing apparatus includes a lane detecting module configured to extract a lane coordinate value from an input image and a pedestrian detecting module configured to set, as a pedestrian region of interest (ROI), a region between a first line passing through ends of first left and right lanes and a second line passing through ends of second left and right lanes which are respectively disposed above the left and right lanes, and search for the pedestrian ROI by using a predetermined window to detect a pedestrian region having a pedestrian feature.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
