Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a novel scheme for tracking moving person based on particle filter and social force model. The tracking process contains two parts: the predict model and the decision model. We adopt the particle filter algorithm to predict the position and velocity of human. According to the result of prediction, we adapt a sophisticated motion model to calculate the value of social force. Finally, we can control the velocity of robot dynamically through the value of social force.
