"Moving Object Counting with An Infrared Sensor Network"

By

Mr. Chi-Keung Ki


Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become a hot research topic recently.
Great benefit can be gained through the deployment of the WSN over a wide
range of applications, covering the domains of commercial, military as
well as residential. In this project, we design a counting system which
tracks people who pass through a detecting zone as well as the
corresponding moving directions. Such a system can be deployed in traffic
control, resource management, and human flow control. Our design is based
on our self-made cost-effective Infrared Sensing Module board which
co-operates with a WSN. The design of our system includes Infrared Sensing
Module design, sensor clustering, node communication, system architecture
and deployment. We conduct a series of experiments to evaluate the system
performance which demonstrates the efficiency of our Moving Object
Counting system.
