Abstract

Objects detection and tracking is one of the perspective and rapidly developing areas of technical vision, applied in various systems. Clusterization and segmentation of data are an integral part of such systems. The paper presents a brief overview of the 2D laser scanning systems data segmentation algorithms. The segmentation of closely located objects is one of the weaknesses of such algorithms. Application of the range data along with the intensity values of the corresponding reflected signal measurement was suggested for better segmentation. For the data fusion, it was proposed to use a neural network, as a convenient tool for clustering and segmentation of noisy and complex data. In this paper a multilayer perceptron is used as one of the most common and studied models. The architecture of the received network, the method of its training and the interpretation of the output for segmentation of the cloud of two-dimensional points are presented. The results of this study can be used not only in the problems of segmentation of clouds of points, but also in solving the problems of mapping, for the feature point detection in the analysis of two-dimensional clouds of points, for developing the systems of objects tracking.
