Abstract
In a human-inhabited environment it is essential that a robot which interacts with humans is able to keep track of them when they move around in the environment. This is not an easy job. Multiple people may be in the robot’s vicinity, sometimes a person leaves the vicinity of the robot and reenters some time later. Two issues are essential in tracking: localization and identification. Multi-modal cues (audio, visual, maybe radar) may be used for the task. In this paper we restrict ourselves to visual cues and present our work to track people with a vision system.
