Non-invasive stand-off sensing for detecting, monitoring and localizing humans

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Stand-off or distant sensing is a contactless non-invasive sensing methodology that sense either actively by transmitting waveforms (generally electromagnetic waves) such as a radar or passively (video cameras). It is useful when contact sensing is not feasible such as search and rescue, military and cross-border security applications. It is also an economical way of monitoring multiple patients in emergency departments or elderlies in home care. While majority of the existing research has focused on using single sensor or a combination of multiple sensor of the same type, the proposed Discovery Grant program will consider a suite of hybrid sensors that individually use different sensing strategies to achieve reliable sensing.
