    This paper introduces data fusion strategies within particle filtering in order to track people from a single camera mounted on a mobile robot in a human environment. Various visual cues are described, relying on color, shape or motion, together with several filtering strategies taking into account all or parts of these measurements in their importance and/or measurement functions. A preliminary evaluation enables the selection of the most meaningful visual cues associations in terms of discriminative power, robustness to artifacts and time consumption. The depicted filtering strategies are then evaluated in order to check which people trackers, regarding visual cues and algorithms associations, best fulfill the requirements of the considered scenarios. The performances are compared through some quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Some associations of filtering strategies and visual cues show a significant increase in the tracking robustness and precision. Future works are finally discussed.

    Audition is often considered as the most important sense in humans, because of its fundamental role in learning, language and communication. However, its use in robotics is fairly recent in comparison to other exteroceptive sensing. Nevertheless, its complementarity to vision and its potentialities for Human-Robot Interaction have been widely acknowledged [1]. ...

    This paper deals with video-based face recognition and tracking from a camera mounted on a mobile robot companion. All persons must be logically identified before being authorized to interact with the robot while continuous tracking is compulsory in order to estimate the person’s approximate position. A first contribution relates to experiments of still-image-based face recognition methods in order to check which image projection and classifier associations give the highest performance of the face database acquired from our robot. Our approach, based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) improved by genetic algorithm optimization of the free- parameters, is found to outperform conventional appearance-based holistic classifiers (eigenface and Fisherface) which are used as benchmarks. Relative performances are analyzed by means of Receiver Operator Characteristics which systematically provide optimized classifier free-parameter settings. Finally, for the SVM-based classifier, we propose a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to obtain optimized free-parameter settings.

    The second and central contribution is the design of a complete still-to-video face recognition system, dedicated to the previously identified person, which integrates face verification, as intermittent features, and shape and clothing color, as persistent cues, in a robust and probabilistically motivated way. The particle filtering framework, is well-suited to this context as it facilitates the fusion of different measurement sources. Automatic target recovery, after full occlusion or temporally disappearance from the field of view, is provided by positioning the particles according to face classification probabilities in the importance function. Moreover, the multi-cue fusion in the measurement function proves to be more reliable than any other individual cues.

    Evaluations on key-sequences acquired by the robot during long-term operations in crowded and continuously changing indoor environments demonstrate the robustness of the tracker against such natural settings. Mixing all these cues makes our video-based face recognition system work under a wide range of conditions encountered by the robot during its movements. The paper concludes with a discussion of possible extensions.

    The detection of a pattern in an audio sequence is considered. An approach relying on the Stochastic Matched Filtering theory is proposed. It consists in first defining offline a basis from the statistics of the pattern and of the noise, then in isolating the pattern by means of a likelihood ratio test involving the online decomposition of the audio sequence on this basis. A simulated case study is proposed, which provides some guidelines to the tuning of the algorithm. Then, experimental results concerning the application of the method to voice activity detection are presented.

    This paper deals with the detection of the number of broadband sources in an acoustic environment from a small-size, embeddable microphone array. The coupling of information-theoretic statistical identification methods with MUSIC schemes, which has long been acknowledged in the array processing community, is first reviewed. From these considerations, a source number detector based either on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) or on the Minimum Description Length (MDL) criterion is derived within an original coherent broadband beamspace MUSIC method. This constitutes a theoretically sound solution, well-suited to robotics as it requires no subjective threshold setting and has a limited computational cost. Experimental results validate the approach. All the necessary theoretical background is provided, so that the paper is self-contained.

    This paper presents the Embedded Audition for Robotics (EAR) project internally developed at LAAS and its application to speaker localization and extraction. Hardware and software issues are first thoroughly depicted, concerning the development of an auditory sensor based on an array of microphones, a homemade dedicated acquisition chain and a FPGA based processing board. Then, the EAR sensor is assessed against various scenarios, in real noisy robotics environments. Localization results are presented when a speaker emits an utterance in the presence of a disturbing source. These validate the underlying theory and suggest further theoretical and experimental developments.

    This paper deals with the tracking of persons in a human cluttered environment. It is performed by an active perception system, consisting of a camera mounted on a pan-tilt unit and a 360° RFID detection system which are embedded on a mobile robot. Particle filters enable the fusion of heterogeneous data into the proposal distribution from which the particles are sampled. The information provided by the tracker is then used to build sensor-based dedicated control laws in order to make the robot follow the RFID tagged person. Finally, experiments on our mobile robot are presented in order to highlight the relevance and complementarity of the developed perceptual functions.

    With personal robotics and assistance to dependent people, robots are in continuous interface with humans. To enable a more natural communication, based on speech and gesture, robots must be endowed with auditive and visual perception capacities. This paper describes a modular multimodal interface based on speech and gestures in order to control an interactive robot called Jido. In this paper we describe how the speech recognition and understanding module processes deictic and anaphoric utterances in a robust way and how gesture is taken into account at the fusion level to complement speech utterances. These two other modules, namely gesture interpretation and probabilistic multimodal fusion are then briefly depicted. Their integration and the associated robotics experiments are finally reported. These experiments were carried out in the context of a multimodal interactive manipulation task involving successive local motion and handling commands. Our object exchange scenario was successfully run several times with different users.

    Among the cognitive abilities a robot companion must be endowed with, human perception and speech under- standing are both fundamental in the context of multimodal human-robot interaction. First, we propose a multiple object visual tracker which is interactively distributed and dedicated to two-handed gestures and head location in 3D. An on-board speech understanding system is also developed in order to process deictic and anaphoric utterances. Characteristics and performances for each of the two components are presented. Finally, integration and experiments on a robot companion highlight the relevance and complementarity of our multimodal interface. Outlook to future work is finally discussed.
