To achieve humanfriendly naviga tion, the robot needs to recognize human on cluttered backgrounds, and this can be fulfilled by the detection of human legs. The detection of human legs is advantageous because it enables detecting environmental obstacles at such heights. In this pa per, we compared the performance of an algorithm using a single laser range finder(LRF) proposed in Ref.
