Abstract

An indoor localization and monitoring system for equipment and people is an important issue in production area monitoring and offices, lab research, etc. Although several monitoring systems are currently under development by previous investigators, these issues remain significant difficulties. For instance, the pyroelectric IR (PIR) system provides less accurate information of human location and is restricted when there are multiple targets. Also, the RFID localization system is constrained by its limited accuracy. In this study, we propose an indoor localization and monitoring system based on a network of PIR sensors and RFID sensors – a sensory fusion system. A sensor-network based localization method called the PIR-RFID inference algorithm is under development. This algorithm determines the fused position from both the PIR localization system and RFID signal localization system, which utilize the received signal strength propagation model. We have developed and experimentally demonstrated a networked sensory fusion system, which can be successfully applied in localize multiple targets - equipment and people. With an accurate localization mechanism for the indoor environment, the provision of appropriate tasks / services can be built for each modeled situation.

What is new in this system, as an evolved sensory fusion system, is that the entire system has been designed and built according with specific requests of a real life situation, as standalone system, on its own, that is, regardless of the other systems a production area / shop floor / equipment a building can have. This system can interact with practically any systems at any level and can be adapted to virtually any existing building system.
