Abstract
The paper discusses the problem of human body detection in severe lighting condition from the driver perspective. Results of a study of threat situation recognition, defined as the sudden appearance of a pedestrian in the field of view, are presented. A human reaction efficiency and delay time are contrasted with the automatic detection based on thermal imagery.
