Design and implementation of a human tracking and following capability for a robotic avatar by Yao, Xiling.

“…In this project, the Kinect sensor was used to detect the person and to track his/her position in 3D space. In each frame of the sensor reading, the histogram in HSV color space was calculated for the targeted person’s clothes, while the person’s position was updated and stored until he/she was in a situation (being occluded or away from the field of view) where he/she could not be detected by the Kinect sensor. …”
