Single-Pixel Thermopile Infrared Sensing for People Counting

People-counting data can be used in building-control systems to improve comfort and in space management applications to optimize building space. In this work, we consider a combi-sensor with a single-pixel thermopile and passive infrared sensor for people counting. We first develop a thermopile signal model for object temperature measurements...

Sensor commissioning detection in single-pixel thermopile sensing systems

We consider the problem of detecting sensor commissioning in the form of determining the sensor layout. We address this problem for single-pixel thermopile sensors, located at the ceiling, that provide remote temperature measurements for people counting applications and HVAC controls. We employ a random forest classifier to determine the...
