HUMAN ACTIVITY DETECTION USING THERMAL DATA AND FLIGHT SENSOR DATA

摘要

Methods, devices, and systems for sensing human activity using thermal data and time of flight (TOF) sensor data are disclosed. In some embodiments, an array-type thermal sensor is used to generate the thermal data and an array-type TOF sensor is used to generate the TOF data. TOF-derived data, such as distance data, speed data and / or acceleration data, can be determined from the TOF data. Human activity in a monitored space can be determined by comparing the thermal and TOF-derived data collected for the monitored space with one or more activity profiles that correspond to one or more types of activities that are to be monitored. Human activity monitoring can be used for one or more of a wide variety of purposes, such as controlling one or more environmental parameters and generating an alarm that one or more activities, such as a fall event, have occurred among many others.
