People Detection in 2D Laser Range Data


 

Description

This data set contains 2D laser range data for detecing people in different environments (rehabitation center, home environment) captured by our mobile robot platforms ScitosA5 and ScitosG3.

Please note that the dataset is available for academic use only (academic institutions and non-profit organizations).

File format:

The data sets are given as text files in the same format as the SPINELLO data set
Each line of a file represents a single scan:

ID1 X11 Y11 L11 X12 Y12 L12 ... X1N Y1N L1N
ID2 X21 Y21 L21 X22 Y22 L22 ... X2N Y2N L2N
...
IDM XM1 YM1 LM1 XM2 YM2 LM2 ... XMN YMN LMN

ID is the numeric identifier of the scan (ignored), Xp and Yp are the cartesian coordinates of the point p, Lp is the binary label of point p (0 if people -- 1 if background). The value of Lp is ignored when the file is read for people detection.
