Stationary Human Detection Method by 2D-LiDARs

Post COVID-19 pandemic, the labor shortage has become increasingly serious in Japan because many people have quit their jobs. In particular, a shortage of personnel such as security guards, taxi drivers, bus drivers, and delivery personnel is noticeable. Therefore, introduction of self-driving taxis, self-driving buses, and security robots are being considered. In this study, we focus on human detection function, a function of a security guard robot. Battery-based robot carts require a small resource of calculation. We proposed a human detection method using a 2D-LiDAR with point cloud data for small resource of calculation. Moreover, we presented the evaluation results of our method.
