There are many traffic accidents occurred at an intersection, and there are mainly caused by a driver’ s oversight of pedestrians and cars. T o prevent pedestrians from trafficaccidents, most of the proposed systems detect pedestrians from a car video taken under general urban street or highway environment. This research proposes a hybrid technique employing switching images between single and stereo camera according to the vehicle situation such as whether or not the vehicle is driving or stopping. The technique detects moving objects such as pedestrians and cars at an intersection when the ego car turns right or left, and gives a warning to a driver by analyzing the detected pedestrian’ s behavior. The performance of the proposed technique was examined employing various vehicular video images. In this report, moving objects detection, pedestrian’ s segmentation, pedestrian’s behavior recognition and finally the evaluation of each technique are described.
