Abstract
Examples methods and systems for locating an actor in an environment are described herein. For example, an information system may receive point cloud data representing a cluster of potential actors at a location in the environment. In addition, the information system may also receive location information from a device indicating that the current location of the device is proximate to the location of the cluster of potential actors. Based on movement information from the device that indicates movements of the device, the information system may determine a portion of the point cloud data that displays movements that matches the movement of the device. Using the determined portion of the point cloud, the information system may identify a particular actor of the cluster that corresponds to the device and provide an output signal indicating that the determined portion of the point cloud represents the identified particular actor.
