Abstract
In this study, we develop a robot sensor system that can recognize a person and follow it. The sensor system is composed of multiple Kinect sensors, we call it "Multi-Kinect". Since the field of view of a single Kinect sensor is narrow, this sensor makes it wider by using three Kinect sensors. Furthermore, this sensor can identify a person and re-recognize it by image processing when an occlusion occurs. Herewith, an autonomous mobile robot with this sensor accomplishes a human detection and follows the specific person.
