In this article, we propose a novel LiDAR and event camera fusion modality for subterranean (SubT) environments for fast and precise object and human detection in a wide variety of adverse lighting conditions, such as low or no light, high-contrast zones and in the presence of blinding light sources. In the proposed approach, information from the event camera and LiDAR are fused to localize a human or an object-of-interest in a robot's local frame. The local detection is then transformed into the inertial frame and used to set references for a Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (NMPC) for reactive tracking of humans or objects in SubT environments. The proposed novel fusion uses intensity filtering and K-means clustering on the LiDAR point cloud and frequency filtering and connectivity clustering on the events induced in an event camera by the returning LiDAR beams. The centroids of the clusters in the event camera and LiDAR streams are then paired to localize reflective markers present on safety vests and signs in SubT environments. The efficacy of the proposed scheme has been experimentally validated in a real SubT environment (a mine) with a Pioneer 3AT mobile robot. The experimental results show real-time performance for human detection and the NMPC-based controller allows for reactive tracking of a human or object of interest, even in complete darkness.
