Pyroelectric Infra-Red (PIR) sensors are used in many applications including security. PIRs
detect the presence of humans and animals from the radiation of their body heat. This could …

We present Pyro, a micro thumb-tip gesture recognition technique based on thermal infrared
signals radiating from the fingers. Pyro uses a compact, low-power passive sensor, making it …

In this paper, we study a problem of designing a multi-hop wireless network for
interconnecting sensors (hereafter called source nodes) to a Base Station (BS), by …

In this paper, we introduce a method to estimate the range of an intruder and track its
trajectory by utilizing the received signal strength of the heat flux for pyroelectric infrared …

In this paper, we study the problem of wireless sensor network design by deploying a
minimum number of additional relay nodes (to minimize network design cost) at a subset of …

We study the problem of wireless sensor network design by deploying a minimum number of
additional relay nodes (to minimize network cost) at a subset of given potential relay …

In wireless sensor networks, centralized learning methods have very high communication
costs and energy consumption. These are caused by the need to transmit scattered training …

In this paper, the problem of intrusion detection using pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensors is
investigated. We study the output PIR signal in the light of the intruder's trajectory and the …

A method includes detecting, with a passive infrared sensor (PIR), a level of infrared
radiation in a field of view (FOV) of the PIR, generating a signal based on detected levels …

We consider the problem of tracking an intruder in a plane region by using a wireless sensor
network comprising motes equipped with passive infrared (PIR) sensors deployed over the …
