A Color-Based Multispectral Imaging Approach for a Human Detection Camera
Shuji Ono
TL;DR
This paper introduces a color-based multispectral imaging method for detecting humans by distinguishing clothing from the background using four specific wavelengths.
Contribution
A lightweight machine learning model using four selected wavelengths achieves high accuracy for real-time human detection.
Findings
The method achieves 0.95 accuracy, 0.97 precision, 0.93 recall, and 0.95 F1-score for human detection.
The approach is computationally efficient due to its reliance on pixel-wise spectral reflectance rather than spatial patterns.
The four-band camera setup is suitable for real-time applications like autonomous driving and disaster response.
Abstract
In this study, we propose a color-based multispectral approach using four selected wavelengths (453, 556, 668, and 708 nm) from the visible to near-infrared range to separate clothing from the background. Our goal is to develop a human detection camera that supports real-time processing, particularly under daytime conditions and for common fabrics. While conventional deep learning methods can detect humans accurately, they often require large computational resources and struggle with partially occluded objects. In contrast, we treat clothing detection as a proxy for human detection and construct a lightweight machine learning model (multi-layer perceptron) based on these four wavelengths. Without relying on full spectral data, this method achieves an accuracy of 0.95, precision of 0.97, recall of 0.93, and an F1-score of 0.95. Because our color-driven detection relies on pixel-wise…
