Recognition of Frequently Appeared Locations/Activities Based on Infrared Sensor Array

摘要

This paper studies the possibility of recognizing resident locations and activities using an infrared sensor array. In our study, we try to build smart homes that are smart enough to help the residents, and at the same time, stupid enough not to touch the resident privacy. For this purpose, we try to use a sparse infrared sensor array to recognize some frequently appeared locations/activities that are informative to recognize the life cycles of the residents and useful for providing needed services. Experimental results show that an array containing 10 sensors can be very good to recognize some specified locations and activities.
