As autonomous driving technology advances, pedestrian detection has become a critical task for ensuring road safety. However, in low-light and pedestrian-dense environments, current pedestrian detection algorithms often fail to meet the accuracy requirements for practical applications. To enhance detection accuracy, this paper presents the EMD-YOLOv8, an improved pedestrian detection algorithm. First, to enhance the detail representation of the input images, a Multi-Scale Retinex with Color Restoration algorithm is introduced to optimize the dataset. Next, an enhanced residual block is proposed as a replacement for the redundant BottleNeck structure in the original C2f module, which improves multi-scale object detection capability by integrating high-frequency information with local features. Additionally, a Multi-Scale Spatial Recalibration Network is proposed to dynamically adjust local details and global context features, with the goal of improving feature representation. Finally, a detail enhanced detection head is designed to improve small-object detection performance by shared convolutional parameters and integrating cross-layer feature fusion. Experiments show that the EMD-YOLOv8 algorithm reduces parameters by 47.3% compared to YOLOv8s, while increasing P, R, mAP50, and mAP50-95 by 2.2%, 5.7%, 7.5%, and 4.9%, respectively. The improved algorithm presented in this paper not only effectively addresses the issues of missed detections and false detections but also reduces the parameter count.
