Stereo vision based human body detection from a localized mobile robot

Autonomous surveillance and monitoring of structures is one of the most studied tasks in the past years. In this paper we present an approach in mobile robotic surveillance to detect the presence of people or other moving objects in scenario and classify them as human body and not human body by stereo vision.
