People Detection

The package ppl_detection is a ROS package that does people detection and tracking using the Kinect. The package was a partially implementation of the algorithm proposed by Luis E. Navarro-Serment in his paper "Pedestrian Detection and Tracking Using Three-dimentional LADAR Data" published in The International Journal of Robotics Research October 2010 vol. 29 no. 12 1516-1528. The algorithm was modified to work with the Kinect instead of a laser scanner.
