Abstract

A method, including: acquiring a point cloud frame including point cloud data of a pedestrian; projecting the point cloud data of the pedestrian to a ground coordinate system to obtain projection point data of the pedestrian; determining a direction of a connection line between the two shoulders of the pedestrian, based on a location distribution of the projection point data; extracting a point cloud of a stable region from the point cloud data of the pedestrian based on the direction of the connection line between the two shoulders of the pedestrian, a form change range of the stable region when the pedestrian moves being smaller than form change ranges of other regions of the pedestrian; and determining movement information of the pedestrian based on a coordinate of a center point of the point cloud of the stable region in a plurality of consecutive point cloud frames.
