Fast and Robust Tracking of Multiple Moving Objects with a Laser Range Finder
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we focus on the task of tracking multiple moving objects in rapidly changing, dynamic environments. Objects are extracted from laser range finder images and correspondences between successive images are established by network optimization techniques. The approach is implemented on a robotic wheelchair, used in two applications and evaluated experimentally.

Cluster-Based SJPDAFs for Classification and Tracking of Multiple Moving Objects
This paper describes a method for classifying and tracking multiple moving objects with a laser range finder (LRF). As moving objects are tracked in the framework of sample-based joint probabilistic data association filters (SJPDAFs), the proposed method is robust against occlusions or false segmentation of LRF scans. It divides tracking targets and corresponding LRF segments into clusters and ...
متن کاملUnified Pulsed Laser Range Finder and Velocimeter using Ultra-Fast Time-To-Digital Converter
In this paper, we present a high accuracy laser range finder and velocimeter using ultra-fast time-to-digital converter (TDC). The system operation is based on the measuring the round-trip time of a narrow laser pulse. A low-dark current high-speed PIN photodiode is used to detect the triggered laser beam and to produce start signal. The pulsed laser diode generates 45W optical power at 30ns du...
متن کاملMoving Objects Tracking Using Statistical Models
Object detection plays an important role in successfulness of a wide range of applications that involve images as input data. In this paper we have presented a new approach for background modeling by nonconsecutive frames differencing. Direction and velocity of moving objects have been extracted in order to get an appropriate sequence of frames to perform frame subtraction. Stationary parts of ...

متن کاملExperimental Study of a Flash-lamp Pumped Passively Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Using Cr4+:YAG Saturable Absorber
This paper deals with the experimental results of a xenon flash-lamp pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber. The need of a laser cavity to be integrated into a time-of-flight laser range finder is of great interest as an experimental investigation of several laser resonators. Two types of laser resonator, with different lengths, have been studied: the flat-fl...
