LiDAR and UHF-RFID Sensor Fusion for Dynamic Obstacles Detection and Tracking

In this work, a label-assignment and tracking system combining LiDAR and UHF-RFID systems to monitor workers and other obstacles positions in construction sites is presented with the aim of achieving a smart, reliable and efficient safety system. The proposed algorithm identifies clusters from 2D LiDAR cloud point maps and associates them with RFID tags identifier attached to targets by cross-correlating phase data with the cluster motion. The herein presented system is validated in an indoor environment.

Abstract

In this work, a label-assignment and tracking system combining LiDAR and UHF-RFID systems to monitor workers and other obstacles positions in construction sites is presented with the aim of achieving a smart, reliable and efficient safety system. The proposed algorithm identifies clusters from 2D LiDAR cloud point maps and associates them with RFID tags identifier attached to targets by cross-correlating phase data with the cluster motion. The herein presented system is validated in an indoor environment.
