Goal and Organization

As robots enter more domains in which they socially interact and cooperate closely with humans, the ability of machines to detect and track humans is becoming a key technology for many areas in robotics. This workshop brings together key researchers in the domain of people detection and tracking with an emphasis to unite people from the vision community and the community that has mostly worked with range finders. The goal is to provide a representative survey of the state-of-the-art and to transfer knowledge within and across the communities
