Experiments with Simultaneous Environment Mapping and Multi-target Tracking

  • Chapter
Experimental Robotics

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics ((STAR,volume 39))

Abstract

This paper presents experimental results for building a dynamic environment model based on an occupancy grid, while detecting and tracking mobile objects using a particle filter. The principle is to represent all the objects in the robot’s environment as groups of cells; mobile groups such as people are distinguished from the fixed parts, they are not included in the built map, and their motion is tracked.
