1. A pedestrian detection system comprising:

  • an imaging device installed in a vehicle to capture images around the vehicle; and

    a pedestrian detection device for detecting pedestrians based on an image captured and obtained by the imaging device,whereinthe pedestrian detection device includes;

    a correlation value detection unit for performing matching between the image obtained by the imaging device and a pre-stored template for an outline of a pedestrian, and obtaining a correlation value with the template;

    a high correlation region detection unit for detecting image regions in the image obtained by the imaging device as pedestrian candidates, the image regions each having the correlation value indicating a high probability that the image region is a pedestrian; and

    a selection unit for obtaining an average value of height of a plurality of pedestrian candidates as appears on the image, determining whether or not each pedestrian candidate is suitable on the basis of the average value and the height of the each pedestrian candidate as appears on the image, and performing selection processing for excluding unsuitable pedestrian candidates from the pedestrian candidates.
