Original abstract
People detection is essential for mobile robots that are suppose to communicate with human. Face detector can be used as a primary tool for such detection. The paper presents a method of combining the face detector output with distance measurements provided by low cost proximity sensors. The method reduces the false positives given by face detector, thus preventing the robot from starting the conversation when the subject is not present. Data for fusion were taken from the measurements of mobile robot Advee in real world environment. Presented approach is easy to implement on variety of platforms and is computationally cheap. Verification tests were performed with the same robot and about 30 % reduction of false positives was obtained.
