The rapid development of the autonomous driving technology relies on the breakthroughs in several core technologies, pedestrian detection being a critical component which directly affects the safety and reliability of autonomous driving systems. Targeting the shortcomings inherent to the current pedestrian detection technologies, this paper proposes an optimization algorithm based on machine learning, which is intended to improve the pedestrian detection accuracy and real-time efficiency. In order to optimize the parameter configuration of deep learning models, this study validates the proposed approach on two public datasets. The obtained results demonstrate that the optimized model achieved significant improvements in both pedestrian detection accuracy and computational efficiency.
