Standing Human Detection Method Using 2D-LiDARs

Abstract

Recently, autonomous vehicle technologies have been widely developed. Moreover, these technologies are applied to autonomous carts for security guards, guidance robots, delivery carts, etc. A variety of human detection technologies are important for these robotic carts. There are many studies on avoiding collisions with humans and other obstacles. However, technologies to distinguish between humans and other obstacles are especially important for security guard robots. In this paper, we propose a standing human detection method using 2D-LiDARs to reduce costs. We show the details of our methods and results of evaluation.
