Pervasive Visual Sensor Networks for Elderly Care
The proportion of aging population in human society is demonstrating a remarkable increase every year. Our society faces the following challenges to deal with this increase in the aging population: more investment is needed for elderly care and the decrease in the working population will cause a shortage of skilled caregivers [1]. Therefore extensive research efforts take place on developing sm...
متن کاملLow-cost Vector Network Analyzer for Biomedical Applications
A low-cost and portable vector network analyzer (VNA) which covered operating frequency between 1MHz to 3GHz is used for vector reflection coefficient and standing wave ratio (swr) of the various microstrip antennas. This paper presents measurements of various ultra wideband (uwb) microstrip antennas for applications in biomedical field. Selection of antenna is an important key for detection of...
متن کاملBehavior analysis for elderly care using a network of low-resolution visual sensors
Recent advancements in visual sensor technologies have made behavior analysis practical for inhome monitoring systems. The current in-home monitoring systems face several challenges: (1) visual sensor calibration is a difficult task and not practical in real-life because of the need for recalibration when the visual sensors are moved accidentally by a caregiver or the senior citizen, (2) privac...
متن کاملComputer Network Time Synchronization using a Low Cost GPS Engine
Accurate and reliable time is necessary for financial and legal transactions, transportation, distribution systems, and many other applications. Time synchronization protocols such as NTP (the Network Time Protocol) have kept clocks of such applications synchronized to each other for many years. Nowadays there are many commercial GPS based NTP time server products at the market but they almost ...
متن کاملA Low-Cost Time-Triggered Sensor Network: TTP/A
This paper presents the rational and the design of a time-triggered low-cost sensor network that conforms to the design principles of the timetriggered architecture. TTP/A is a multimaster UART-based sensor network that provides temporally predictable communication to sensor and actuator nodes in a distributed real-time system. It provides multiple views of a sensor node, such as a periodic rea...
