What do you suggest as a robust person tracking ROS-based solution using the Kinect

Hi,

I am looking for a robust person tracking ROS-based solution for the Kinect. I know there exist a number of different packages but I was wondering which one you recommend as a robust tracking solution when using specifically the Kinect.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Can you provide some more details? Using Kinect I assume you are targeting indoor application? Can you assume the ground is planar? Are you having a static camera or Kinect mounted on a robot?

Thank for your prompt reply. I am targeting an indoor application. The Kinect is mounted on the robot at the height of approximately 1.2 m and the ground can be assumed to be planar. the robot can move up to 2 .5 m/s.

Then I don't know a good ready-made solution. You should maybe clarify as well if you are thinking of detector and tracker as a package deal or tracker only.

I need a detector and tracker in combination. I could limit the speed of the robot to an extent. I am more considered about the robustness of the detection-tracking of the people (even at the expense of having to use lower speeds)

I have found that openpose and its wrappers seem very promising at the moment.

What about the OpenCV feature feature detection algorithms like KAZE?

I was wondering if there is already an off the shelf solution since many people are using the Kinect for this purpose nowadays.

feature tracking is not really relevant when talking about person tracking
