Traffic collision cost the life of hundreds per year, if you do not include the wounded. There are many roads which not contain traffic lights, despite considered dangerous for pedestrian. The main goal of this project is to develop a real-time system which warns when pedestrian approach or crossing the road, moreover we tried to implement the system on portable device in order to be stationed in junctions with no traffic lights.
Abstract
Traffic collision cost the life of hundreds per year, if you do not include the wounded. There are many roads which not contain traffic lights, despite considered dangerous for pedestrian. The main goal of this project is to develop a real-time system which warns when pedestrian approach or crossing the road, moreover we tried to implement the system on portable device in order to be stationed in junctions with no traffic lights.

Errors
the next graph represent the probability of false recognition of pedestrian (false positive) vs. the angle of the camera. It is worth mention that there was no false negatives, all the pedestrians recognized.
