Abstract

See full text

A multimodal sensor network is designed to extract a plurality of fundamental properties associated with subject sensing. In one aspect, such network can combine cameras distributed in an environment with inertial sensors available in subjects' wearable devices. The network can permit anonymous detection, counting, and localization of one or more subjects utilizing the cameras. In one aspect, by fusing such information with positional data from the inertial sensors contained or coupled to wearable devices associated with the one or more subjects, the network can track and can identify each subject carrying a wearable device functionally coupled to inertial sensor(s). In one aspect, the problem of subject sensing can be divided into two parts: (1) a detection, counting, and localization (DCL) layer and (2) a tracking and identification (TI) layer, wherein such layers can be implemented via simulations and a real sensor network deployment.
