We propose a device for monitoring the number of people who are physically present inside indoor environments. The device performs local processing of infrared array sensor data detecting people’s direction, which allows monitoring users’ occupancy in any space of the building and also respects people privacy. The device implements a novel real-time pattern recognition algorithm for processing data sensed by a low-cost infrared (IR) array sensor. The computed information is transferred through a Z-Wave network. On-field evaluation of the algorithm has been conducted by placing the device on top of doorways in offices and laboratory rooms. To evaluate the performance of the algorithm in varying ambient temperatures, two groups of stress tests have been designed and performed. These tests established the detection limits linked to the difference between the average ambient temperature and perturbation. For an in-depth analysis of the accuracy of the algorithm, synthetic data have been generated considering temperature ranges typical of a residential environment, different human walking speeds (normal, brisk, running), and distance between the person and the sensor (1.5 m, 5 m, 7.5 m). The algorithm performed with high accuracy for routine human passage detection through a doorway, considering indoor ambient conditions of 21–30 °C.

Abstract. Anomaly detection in imagery has widely been studied and enhanced towards the requirements of today’s available sensor data, whereas many of them require a background estimation in order to identify an anomaly or target. In this paper, we examine an analysis of simulation as background estimator for anomaly detection in thermal images of urban sceneries. We generate a surface temperature image and a sensor-like infrared image by combined image and elevation data and a thermal model suited for large scenes and fast simulation. With the simulated thermal image, we define anomalies as deviation between measurement and simulation. Pixel-wise image differencing of the measured and simulated temperatures and infrared images respectively are performed and evaluated concerning the full images as well as class-wise, including a material classification of the observed area. Our approach shows complementary results compared to RXD application on the measured infrared images. Metal roofs which appear warm in the thermal image and are not visually distinguishable from the residual image are detected.
