Estimation of Human Localisation Using Low-Resolution IR Sensors
摘要
The global population is getting older, and it is necessary to develop new and creative solutions to ensure the safety, comfort, and privacy of senior citizens. Falling is one of the most significant risks for older individuals, which has led to a growing demand for reliable fall detection systems. However, the current Grid-EYE sensor systems are only able to detect human activities in small areas when using a single sensor, which limits their effectiveness in larger environments. To overcome this limitation, a system was developed consisting of a network of low-resolution sensors, enabling the identification of falls with 93.75% accuracy. In addition, the system can accurately determine whether there is more than one person in a room, achieving a 96.87% accuracy rate. It can also detect the precise position of a person within the monitored space. SVM models were employed to analyse sensor data, removing background noise and improving overall reliability.
