Person detection becomes extremely unreliable while robot is moving

[Mina-sh95]

Hi,

I am developing an app using the Temi SDK and I’ve noticed a serious issue with person detection while the robot is moving.
When the robot is navigating or moving, the person detection almost stops working or becomes extremely weak. The robot usually cannot detect a person unless I bring my face very close to the tablet camera.

What exactly causes person detection to become so weak while the robot is moving?

This behavior makes it very hard to build interactive applications where the robot should detect people while patrolling or approaching them.

Thank you.

It is this API that you're calling right? setDectionModeOn(boolean on, float distance)

https://github.com/robotemi/sdk/wiki/Detection-&-Interaction#setDetectionModeOnWithDistance

This detection doesn't detect face, a part of human body should trigger a detection.

You can set the distance to 2.0 while doing doing partrol, then no need to stand very close to the tablet.
