In recent times People commonly display substantial intra-class variability in both appearance and position, making pedestrian recognition difficult. Current computer vision techniques like object identification as well as object classification has given deep learning (DL) models a lot of attention and this application is based on supervised learning, which necessitates labels. Multimodal imaging enables examining more than one molecule at a time, so that cellular events may be examined simultaneously or the progression of these events can be followed in real-time. Purpose of this study is to propose and construct a hybrid machine learning (ML) pedestrian identification model based on multimodal datasets. For pedestrian detection, the input is gathered as multimodal pictures, which are then processed for noise reduction, smoothing, and normalization. Then, the improved picture was categorized using metaheuristic salp cross-modal swarm optimization and optimized using naive spatio kernelized extreme convolutional transfer learning. We thoroughly evaluated the proposed approach on three benchmark datasets for multimodal pedestrian identification that are made accessible to the general public. For several multimodal image-based pedestrian datasets, experimental analysis is done in terms of average precision, log-average miss rate, accuracy, F1 score, and equal error rate. The findings of the studies show that our method is capable of performing cutting-edge detection on open datasets. proposed technique attained average precision of 95%, log-average miss rate of 81%, accuracy of 61%, F1 score of 51%, equal error rate of 59%.
