Abstract
Laser scanner takes away the problem of private life conservation as it does not record real world videos except scanned data points. So it shows many benefits over the use of video camera. This paper portrays an approach to detect and track movers from laser scanned datasets. Laser scanned data points from each scan are deemed as a video frame. Blobs are extracted from each frame. Support vector machine (SVM) and Hungarian method along with particle filter are used to get trajectories of movers. Experimental results on the identical laser scanned dataset demonstrate that the approach of SVM with Hungarian method using particle filter outperforms both the threshold based approach with Hungarian method using Kalman filter and the approach of SVM with Hungarian method using Kalman filter.
