    Abstract: An image adaptive feature extraction method includes dividing an image into a plurality of blocks, performing a feature extraction processing on the plurality of blocks, and obtaining a block feature from each of the plurality of blocks after the feature extraction processing; calculating each block feature by means of a support vector machine (SVM) classifier, wherein each block feature is calculated to obtain a hyperplane normal vector; setting a threshold value, determining the block feature according to the hyperplane normal vector, recording the block as an adaptive feature block when a value of the hyperplane normal vector is higher than the threshold value, and integrating each adaptive feature block to form an adaptive feature image. Because an image adaptive feature extraction process is performed before a pedestrian image detection is calculated, and effective feature data is then selected, computational efficiency is boosted and detection pedestrian error probability is reduced.

    Abstract: A light detection and ranging system comprises an optical transmitter for beam scanning on a scan region, and receiving reflected light from the scan region; and an optical receiver for directing the reflected light for signal conversion. The optical transmitter includes a beam refractive unit including optical refractive devices, rotatably disposed about a rotation axis, for directing a collimated laser beam from a first optical path towards a direction depending on rotation angles of the optical refractive devices; and a motion unit for actuating relative motion of the optical refractive devices so as to perform beam scanning towards directions on the scan region. The optical receiver includes an off-axis reflective unit, disposed in the first optical path, for directing the reflected light towards a second optical path; and a light detection unit, disposed in the second optical path, for performing signal conversion on the reflected light.

    Abstract: An all-weather thermal-image pedestrian detection method includes (a) capturing diurnal thermal images and nocturnal thermal images of a same pedestrian and non-pedestrian object in a same defined block to create a sample database of thermal images, wherein the sample database comprises pedestrian samples and non-pedestrian samples; (b) performing LBP encoding on the pedestrian samples and the non-pedestrian samples, wherein complementary LBP codes in the same defined block are treated as identical LBP codes; (c) expressing the LBP codes in the same defined block as features by a gradient direction histogram (HOG) to obtain feature training samples of the pedestrian samples and the non-pedestrian samples; (d) entering the feature training samples into a SVM to undergo training by Adaboost so as to form a strong classifier; and (e) effectuating pedestrian detection by searching the strong classifiers in thermal images with sliding window technique to detect for presence of pedestrians.

    Abstract: A laser radar device comprises a laser projecting system and a laser radar detecting system. The laser projecting system comprises a laser diode; and a light source orientation adjustment unit comprising a collimating lens and a Powell lens to modulate the angle at which the first incident laser beam is projected onto an object. The laser radar detecting system comprises at least two laser radar detection units disposed in the horizontal direction and vertical direction of the object, respectively. The laser radar detection units each comprise a wedge-shaped lens, an aspherical lens system and an optical detector. By designing optical parameters of the wedge-shaped lens and stacking the laser radar detection units in the horizontal direction and vertical direction, it is feasible to facilitate overall device manufacturing and processing, meet R&D needs, and adjust an optical system in its entirety easily.
