Popis: This paper presents a system for 3D target tracking. A controllable range sensor is servoid in order to focus the attention of the system on the target. The 3D-sensor is a laser telemeter based range finder of which the laser beam is deflected by two flat mirrors. The deviations of the mirrors are fully programmable and can be dynamically controlled by an application program. The data from the sensor are passed to a Kalman filter which predicts the next location of the target. The predicted location of the target allows to define an area which is scanned by the laser beam to obtain a 3D image. This system is applied to pedestrian tracking in a road environment.
