VISIBLE LIGHT AND INFRARED FUSION IMAGE-BASED OBJECT DETECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A visible light and infrared fusion image-based object detection method and apparatus are disclosed. According to the present invention, provided is a visible light and infrared fusion image-based object detection apparatus for detecting a vehicle-adjacent object on the basis of a visible light and infrared fusion image, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores program instructions, executable by the processor, so as to determine whether an object detection deterioration region caused by surrounding conditions exists in a vehicle-adjacent visible light image, which is inputted through a visible light camera, and classify an object by using RGB data of the visible light image and infrared image data acquired through an infrared camera as input values of a pre-trained object detection network, when the object detection deterioration region exists.
