2A2-D24 Taxi Service with Outdoor Mobility Robot by Using Human Detection and Hand wave Detection

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new human detection method for mobility robot and a taxi service robot using human detection and hand wave detection. This human detection method is LRF and Omniview Camera co-detection method. First, range data obtained from LRF are splitted into segments and some images are clipped from panoramic image by the segments size. Then we classify clipped images as human or not by HOG features of the image and SVM (Support Vector Machine).
