People2D: realtime people detection in 2D range data

People2D provides an efficient implementation of the people detector in 2D data originally developed in Human Detection using Multimodal and Multidimensional Features (ICRA 2008). It includes training and detection module C++ source code and example files. The code has been written in a way that it is very easy to modify / hack. NO background subtraction is needed with this method. The detector runs at 2KHz on a fast computer (i7 CPU - 1.6Ghz)

Long Description
People2D is a principled approach for detecting people in 2D range data. It is based on discriminative classification of a rich geometrical/statistical feature-set for describing people in 2D range data. The method first segments 2D range data via jump-distance clustering, computes descriptors, and runs Adaboost prediction. The approach allows detections in single frames, without the need of tracking and background-learning. It can been used in indoor, outdoor, from a static or a moving platform. Appropriate training data must be provided to the algorithm to perform well in all cases. For showing the functionalities of the software, an uncluttered indoor toy data set containing training / testing files is provided. Tools for visualization, quantitative performance evaluation (precision-recall curves) are also included in the package. It is considered state-of-the-art in the field of 2D detection from single frames (03/2011).
