Estimating Pedestrian Moving State Based on Single 2D Body Pose

9 Jul 2019  ·  Zixing Wang, Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos ·

The Crossing or Not-Crossing (C/NC) problem is important to autonomous vehicles (AVs) for safe vehicle/pedestrian interactions. However, this problem setup often ignores pedestrians walking along the direction of the vehicles' movement (LONG). To enhance the AVs' awareness of pedestrians behavior, we make the first step towards extending the C/NC to the C/NC/LONG problem and recognize them based on single body pose. In contrast, previous C/NC state classifiers depend on multiple poses or contextual information. Our proposed shallow neural network classifier aims to recognize these three states swiftly. We tested it on the JAAD dataset and reported an average 81.23% accuracy. Furthermore, this model can be integrated with different sensors and algorithms that provide 2D pedestrian body pose so that it is able to function across multiple light and weather conditions.
