Pedestrian Protection Systems (PPSs) are on-board systems aimed

at detecting and tracking people in the surroundings of a vehicle

in order to avoid potentially dangerous situations. These

systems, together with other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

(ADAS) such as lane departure warning or adaptive cruise control

are one of the most promising ways to improve traffic safety. By

the use of computer vision, cameras working either in the visible

or infra-red spectra have been demonstrated as a reliable sensor

to perform this task. Nevertheless, the variability of human's

appearance, not only in terms of clothing and sizes but also as a

result of their dynamic shape, makes pedestrians one of the most

complex classes even for computer vision. Moreover, the

unstructured changing and unpredictable environment in which such

on-board systems must work makes detection a difficult task to be

carried out with the demanded robustness. In this brief, the

state of the art in PPSs is introduced through the review of the

most relevant papers of the last decade. A common computational

architecture is presented as a framework to organize each method

according to its main contribution. More than 300 papers are

referenced, most of them addressing pedestrian detection and

others corresponding to the descriptors (features), pedestrian

models, and learning machines used. In addition, an overview of

topics such as real-time aspects, systems benchmarking and future

challenges of this research area are presented
