This paper presents a robust tracking system for autonomous robots equipped with omnidirectional cameras. The proposed method uses a 3D shape and color-based object model. This all...
Recently, the covariance region descriptor [1] has been proved robust and versatile for a modest computational cost. It enables efficient fusion of different types of features. Ba...
Abstract Modern service robots will soon become an essential part of modern society. As they have to move and act in human environments, it is essential for them to be provided wit...
In this paper, we address the problem of realizing a human following task in a crowded environment. We consider an active perception system, consisting of a camera mounted on a pa...
Abstract—This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for simultaneously estimating the pose of a mobile robot and the positions of nearby people in a previously mapped environm...
