Networked cellular motion detection system by using pyroelectric infrared sensor for surveillance

In this paper, we propose a networked cellular motion detection system for surveillance by using pyroelectric infrared sensors. The networked sensor technology has a potential to solve some of our most important scientific and societal problems. However, the distributed vision system makes it difficult to process the information acquired in such considerable amount. The proposed method gets a hint from the information processing of human hearing organs and compound eyes of insects. By constructing the testbed as a motion detection cell, we confirmed that the proposed method can be utilized to detect human behavior in a real situation.
