Abstract

Multi-modal pedestrian detection has been developed actively in the research field for the past few years. Multi-modal pedestrian detection with visible and thermal modalities outperforms visible-modal pedestrian detection by improving robustness to lighting effects and cluttered backgrounds because it can simultaneously use complementary information from visible and thermal frames. However, many existing multi-modal pedestrian detection algorithms assume that image pairs are perfectly aligned across those modalities. The existing methods often degrade the detection performance due to misalignment. This paper proposes a multi-modal pedestrian detection network for a one-stage detector enhanced by a dual-regressor and a new algorithm for learning multi-modal data, so-called object-based training. This study focuses on Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD), one of the most common one-stage detectors. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms current state-of-the-art methods on artificial data with large misalignment and is comparable or superior to existing methods on existing aligned datasets.
