Description
Summary:This paper presents a person following robot equipped a RGB-D imaging sensor. We introduce three modules of a visual target tracking, target detection, and robot control. For the tracking module, distracters existing near-by the target are explicitly tracked to support target tracking. Preliminary tests showed that the robot robustly follows the target in uncontrolled environment with cluttered background and uneven illumination.
