hdl_people_tracking is a ROS package for real-time people tracking using a 3D LIDAR. It first performs Haselich's clustering technique to detect human candidate clusters, and then applies Kidono's person classifier to eliminate false detections. The detected clusters are tracked by using Kalman filter with a contant velocity model.

hdl_people_tracking requires the following libraries:
- OpenMP
- PCL 1.7
The following ros packages are required:
- pcl_ros
- ndt_omp
- hdl_localization
Bag file (recorded in an outdoor environment):
- hdl_400.bag.tar.gz (933MB)
rosparam set use_sim_time true
roslaunch hdl_people_tracking hdl_people_tracking.launchroscd hdl_localization/rviz
rviz -d hdl_localization.rvizrosbag play --clock hdl_400.bag[NOTE]:
If it doesn't work well, change ndt_neighbor_search_method in hdl_localization.launch to "DIRECT1". It makes the scan matching significantly fast, but a little bit unstable.
If your bagfile is static (velodyne device is fixed) try with the following launch file without any localization needs:
rosparam set use_sim_time true
roslaunch hdl_people_tracking hdl_people_tracking_static.launch
