We present a novel system that aims at reliably detecting and tracking multiple people in an open area. Multiple single-row laser scanners and one video camera are utilized. Feet trajectory tracking based on registration of distance information from multiple laser scanners and visual body region tracking based on color histogram are combined in a Bayesian formulation. Results from tests in a real environment are reported to demonstrate that the system can detect and track multiple people simultaneously with reliable and real-time performance.
