Sažetak
A method for tracking the position, orientation, and height of persons in large public environments is presented. Such a piece of information is known to be useful both for understanding their actions, as well as for applications such as human-robot interaction. We use multiple 3-D range sensors, which are mounted above human height to have less occlusion between persons. A computationally simple-tracking method is proposed that works on single sensor data and combines multiple sensors so that large areas can be covered with a minimum number of sensors. Moreover, it can work with different sensor types and is robust to the imperfect sensor measurements ; therefore, it is possible to combine currently available 3-D range sensor solutions to achieve tracking in wide public spaces. The method was implemented in a shopping center environment, and it was shown that good tracking performance can be achieved.
