Pedestrian Detection and Tracking Using Three-Dimensional LADAR Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The approach investigated in this work employs three-dimensional LADAR measurements to detect and track pedestrians over time. The sensor is employed on a moving vehicle. The algorithm quickly detects the objects which have the potential of being humans using a subset of these points, and then classifies each object using statistical pattern recognition techniques. The algorithm uses geometric and motion features to recognize human signatures. The perceptual capabilities described form the basis for safe and robust navigation in autonomous vehicles, necessary to safeguard pedestrians operating in the vicinity of a moving robotic vehicle.

LADAR-based Pedestrian Detection and Tracking
The approach investigated in this work employs LADAR measurements to detect and track pedestrians over time. The algorithm can process range measurements from both line and 3D scanners. The use of line scanners allows detection and tracking at rates up to 75 Hz. However, this type of sensor may not always perform satisfactorily in uneven terrains. A 3D LADAR is used to improve operation in unev...
متن کاملPedestrian Detection in Infrared Outdoor Images Based on Atmospheric Situation Estimation
Observation in absolute darkness and daytime under every atmospheric situation is one of the advantages of thermal imaging systems. In spite of increasing trend of using these systems, there are still lots of difficulties in analysing thermal images due to the variable features of pedestrians and atmospheric situations. In this paper an efficient method is proposed for detecting pedestrians in ...

متن کاملFusing Ladar and Color Image Information for Mobile Robot Feature Detection and Tracking
In an outdoor, off-road mobile robotics environment, it is important to identify objects that can affect the vehicle’s ability to traverse its planned path, and to determine their three-dimensional characteristics. In this paper, a combination of three elements is used to accomplish this task. An imaging ladar collects range images of the scene. A color camera, whose position relative to the la...
