Crowd management is a flourishing, active research area and must be given attention due to
the potential losses, disasters, and accidents that could occur if it were neglected. For the …

The detection and tracking of moving objects is an essential task in robotics. The CMU‐RI
Navlab group has developed such a system that uses a laser scanner as its primary sensor …

The approach investigated in this work employs three-dimensional LADAR measurement to
detect and track pedestrians over time. The sensor is employed on a moving vehicle. The …

The human-friendly navigation of mobile robots is a significant social and technological
issue. There are many potential applications of human-following technology. Good …

In the field of intelligent transportation systems, pedestrian detection has become a problem
that is urgently in need of a solution. Effective pedestrian detection reduces accidents and …

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable participants in urban traffic. The first step toward
protecting pedestrians is to reliably detect them in a real-time framework. In this paper, a …

One long-standing challenge in robotics is the realization of mobile autonomous robots able
to operate safely in existing human workplaces in a way that their presence is accepted by …

Pedestrian detection and tracking is necessary for autonomous vehicles and traffic
management. This paper presents a novel solution to pedestrian detection and tracking for …

Privacy of people is a key factor in surveillance systems. Video camera brings us well-off
color information. How would the privacy be secured then? Besides, privacy protection …
