Abstract:
1. A method for the detection of pedestrians, comprising: a) transmitting mechanical waves with the mechanical waves being reflected by an object; b) receiving waves reflected from the object with modulated information as to a surface structure of the object in the form of analog reflection signals; c) processing the signals received by converting the analog reflection signals into digital reflection signals; d) analyzing the digital reflection signals in respect of the modulated information as to the surface structure of the object and developing a signal pattern based on the analyzing of the digital reflection signals; e) comparing the signal pattern with stored reference patterns of objects including pedestrians; f) detecting similarities between the signal pattern and the stored reference patterns; and g) emitting a signal to indicate whether an object has been detected and the object is a pedestrian based on detected similarities.
