In this paper, we propose a human detection method triggered by a visual sensor. In order for moblile robots to work in urban areas, it is important to be thoughtful for people. And they need to recognize people to a certain distance. 3D LiDAR Now widely used has a narrow viewing angle and cannot recognizing nearby obstacles such as curbs. With the wide FoV 3D LiDAR we use, nearby object can be detected, but instead it is not good at recognize distant objects. In this method, we detect a person first by vision sensor, and the position of the person is detected by scanning with 3D LiDAR. The proposed method is shown to enable detecting more 2m distant person than traditional method.
