Abstract

Research concern has been specified on automatic identification and tracking of people within the home environment to support smart home services. Although various approaches have been proposed to deal with this problem, solutions still remain untackled due to various reasons (e.g. user acceptance). The aim of this paper is to develop and implement an advanced approach that is able to accurately detect, identify, and track people within appropriate smart home environment. A novel approach for human identification and tracking within smart home environment is proposed. The proposed approach combined PIR sensors and floor pressure through unique designed integration strategy aiming to unite the advantages of the two sensor types and overcome their limitations.
