Tracking People from a Mobile Platform
, 2001
"... Tracking people from a moving platform is a useful skill for the coming generation of service and humaninteraction robots. It is also a challenging problem, involving sensing, interpretation, planning, and control, all in a real time and dynamic environment. Techniques used in existing people-tracke ..."

include (1) remapping the stereo disparities to an orthographic "occupancy map", which simplifies person modeling, and (2) updating a background occupancy map based on robot motion. The current version of our system, running on a Pioneer II mobile robot, can follow people at up to 1.2 m
Model-Based Object Tracking Using Stereo Vision
- Proceedings of the 2001 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), Volume: 2, École Nationale Supérieure de Physique de
, 2001
"... Robust and accurate object recognition and tracking is a necessary pre-requisite for visual servoing tasks. While most approaches use monocular vision in order to solve this problem, this paper presents a new approach using disparity images provided by a stereo vision system from which 3-D models ar ..."

Improving the Selection and Detection of Visual Landmarks Through Object Tracking
"... The unsupervised selection and posterior recognition of visual landmarks is a highly valuable perceptual capability for a mobile robot. Recently, in [6], we propose a system that aims to achieve this capability by combining a bottom-up data driven approach with top-down feedback provided by high lev ..."

Color 3D Model-Based Tracking with Arbitrary Projection Models
"... Abstract. We present a color- and shape-based 3D tracking system suited to a large class of vision sensors. The method is, in fact, applicable with any projection model, provided that it is calibrated and the projection function is known. The tracking architecture is based on Particle Filtering meth ..."

costly image processing routines like edge/feature extraction, color segmentation or 3D reconstruction, that can be cumbersome with omnidirectional projection models. The tracking system copes well with motion and optical blur. We show applications of tracking various objects (balls, boxes) in mobile
Real-time detection of moving objects from moving vehicle using dense stereo and optical flow
- In Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems
, 2004
"... Dynamic scene perception is very important for autonomous vehicles operating around other moving vehicles and humans. Most work on real-time object tracking from moving plaforms has used sparse features or assumed flat scene structures. We have recently extended a real-time, dense stereo system to i ..."

objects while the robot itself is moving. We present results showing accurate egomotion estimation and detection of moving people and vehicles under general 6-DOF motion of the robot and independently moving objects. The system runs at 18.3 Hz on a 1.4 GHz Pentium Mlaptop, computing 160x120 disparity maps
Tracking based on Hue-Saturation Features with a Miniaturized Active Vision
"... Abstract: This paper presents a miniaturized active vision system for visual tracking. One of the main problems in visual tracking is the autonomy and manageability of the system to be mounted on robotic structures, such as mobile and manipulator robots. The proposed active vision system has been bu ..."

Stereo vision motion detection from a moving platform
- In Proc. Australasian Conf. on Robotics and Automation
, 2004
"... In order for robots to coexist with humans it is important that they are able to see and track them. Simple tasks like moving to avoid a passing human in the corridor require that the robot is able to estimate the position and velocity of the passer. Several systems for tracking people have been pre ..."
