Abstract
Driver and pedestrian safety can be aided by systems and methods to provide identification and classification of objects in a vehicle travel path. Information about classified objects can be shared with a human driver to inform the driver about potentially hazardous conditions, or the information can be interpreted automatically by an operating system of the vehicle. In an example, a camera coupled to a vehicle can receive images from an image sensor. A computer system can use machine learning and neural network-based processing to identify an object present in the images and determine whether the object is a pedestrian. In an example, the computer system can process information from a region of interest in the images that comprises less than an entire field of view in the images.
