Laser-Based People Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a method for real-time tracking of objects with multiple laser range-finders covering a workspace in a parallel and distributed fashion. Tracking people is a popular problem in machine vision. Here we adapt the methods used in vision to planar laser scanners. We group range measurements into entities like blobs and objects. With the help of a Kalman Filter (KF), the tracker smooths object paths and estimates its path even when the underlying object is occluded from all the lasers. We finally evaluate the tracker’s performance through four experiments. Keywords—Kalman filter, Laser, Human Tracking, Occlusion Reasoning, Map Building, Human Interactions.

Multi-modal tracking of people using laser scanners and video camera
Inspite extensive research on visual tracking of multiple people in computer vision area, the robustness and usability of visual trackers are still discouraging. Recently, a few laser-based detection and tracking methods have been developed in robotics area. However, poor features provided by laser data make the tracker fail in many situations. In this paper, we present a novel method that aims...
متن کاملLaser-based detection and tracking of multiple people in crowds
Laser-based people tracking systems have been developed for mobile robotic, and intelligent surveillance areas. Existing systems rely on laser point clustering method to extract object locations. However, for dense crowd tracking, laser points of different objects are often interlaced and undistinguishable due to measurement noise and they can not provide reliable features. It causes current sy...
متن کاملLearning Visual Target Appearance for Laser-Based People Tracking
Laser-based people tracking lacks information about the appearance of people. In some situations this systematically leads to wrong data association if the laser observation is incomplete, i.e., when people perform unusual movements or after tracks have been occluded. Our approach improves data association using additional visual information from a video camera. We learn statistical properties ...
متن کاملRobust People Tracking Using an Adaptive Sensor Fusion between a Laser Scanner and Video Camera
Robust detection and tracking in a smart environment have numerous valuable applications. In this paper, an adaptive sensor fusion method which automatically compensates for bias between a laser scanner and video camera is proposed for tracking multiple people. The proposed system comprises five components: blob extraction, object tracking, scan data clustering, a cluster selection, and updatin...
