چکیده

Several approaches to calibration of the Kinect as a range sensor have been presented in the past. Those approaches do not take into account a possible influence of thermal and environmental conditions. This paper shows that variations of the temperature and air draft have a notable influence on Kinect’s images and range measurements. Based on these findings, practical rules are stated to reduce calibration and measurement errors caused by thermal conditions.

RGB-D, Laser and Thermal Sensor Fusion for People Following in a Mobile Robot

Detecting and tracking people is a key capability for robots that operate in populated environments. In this paper, we used a multiple sensor fusion approach that combines three kinds of sensors in order to detect people using RGB-D vision, lasers and a thermal sensor mounted on a mobile platform. The Kinect sensor offers a rich data set at a significantly low cost, however, there are some limi...
