Tracking of Moving Objects from a Moving Vehicle Using a Scanning Laser Rangefinder
Conference Paper, Proceedings of IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC '06), pp. 301 - 306, September, 2006
Abstract
The capability to use a moving sensor to detect moving objects and predict their future path enables both collision warning systems and autonomous navigation. This paper describes a system that combines linear feature extraction, tracking and a motion evaluator to accurately estimate motion of vehicles and pedestrians with a low rate of false motion reports. The tracker was used in a prototype collision warning system that was tested on two transit buses during 7000 km of regular passenger service.
