Predictive Mover Detection and Tracking in Cluttered Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design and experimental evaluation of a system that enables a vehicle to detect and track moving objects in real-time. The approach investigated in this work detects objects in LADAR scan lines and tracks these objects (people or vehicles) over time. The system can fuse data from multiple scanners for 360° coverage. The resulting tracks are then used to predict the most likely future trajectories of the detected objects. The predictions are intended to be used by a planner for dynamic object avoidance. The perceptual capabilities of our system form the basis for safe and robust navigation in robotic vehicles, necessary to safeguard soldiers and civilians operating in the vicinity of the robot.

LADAR-Based Mover Detection from Moving Vehicles
Detecting moving vehicles and people is crucial for safe operation of UGVs but is challenging in cluttered, real world environments. We propose a registration technique that enables objects to be robustly matched and tracked, and hence movers to be detected even in high clutter. Range data are acquired using a 2D scanning Ladar from a moving platform. These are automatically clustered into obje...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Tracking Moving Objects using Block-Based Similarity
Extracting and tracking active objects are two major issues in surveillance and monitoring applications such as nuclear reactors, mine security, and traffic controllers. In this paper, a block-based similarity algorithm is proposed in order to detect and track objects in the successive frames. We define similarity and cost functions based on the features of the blocks, leading to less computati...
متن کاملMulti-Sensor Perception and Dynamic Motion Planning in City Environments
In this paper we describe a state lattice based motion planning approach, which we have successfully applied to large, cluttered, but quasi-static environments. Our approach produces smooth and complex maneuvers through the use of a multi-resolution state lattice, where the resolution is adapted based on the environment, and distance from the robot. We also describe a framework for detecting dy...
متن کاملRobust Head Detection and Tracking in Cluttered Workshop Environments Using GMM
A vision based head tracking approach is presented, combining foreground information with an elliptical head model based on the integration of gradient and skin-color information. The system has been developed to detect and robustly track a human head in cluttered workshop environments with changing illumination conditions. A foreground map based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) is used to segm...
متن کاملA Fast Stereo-based System for Detecting and Tracking Pedestrians from a Moving Vehicle
In this paper we describe a fully integrated system for detecting, localizing, and tracking pedestrians from a moving vehicle. The system can reliably detect upright pedestrians to a range of 40 m in lightly cluttered urban environments. The system uses range data from stereo vision to segment the scene into regions of interest, from which shape features are extracted and used to classify pedes...
