Tracking System and Its Application in Unmanned Automobile Navigation Based on Sparse Photoelectric Sensor Network

Abstract

Sensor tracking technology has broad prospects of application in the fields of smart home and environmental protection. The passive motion tracking method of sensor networks can realize the perception of location, temperature and other information without carrying sensor nodes. A sparse network tracking system based on infrared sensor nodes is proposed in this study, which can control the running automobiles with unmanned navigation. On the basis of the theory of diffraction, the way of spreading for wireless received signal strength (RSS) can be divided into "scattered waves" and "diffracted waves," which can be regarded as two components of infrared sensing wireless signals so as to further propose the RSS indicators of "long-term testing value" and "short-term test value." Based on these indicators, a measurement model based on diffraction effects and scattering effects is proposed, and an improved particle filter algorithm is used to update the motion tracking. The hardware design of each module in an unmanned vehicle includes the main controller, tracking circuit, serial port circuit, motor control circuit and infrared sensor control circuit of the car. In the experiment, the measurement accuracy of the tracking system based on the sparse infrared photoelectric sensor was first tested. In the simulation experiment, the long-term test value, the short-term test value and the actual measurement value were compared respectively. The test results show that the theoretical RSS value and the actual test result can be matched. Moreover, the infrared photoelectric tracking system is used to design the navigation control system of unmanned cars, helping the car to drive automatically through obstacle avoidance test and tracking obstacle avoidance test.

Application of Deep Learning and Intelligent Sensing Analysis in Smart Home

“…This paper conducts literature searches based on thematic words, including search titles, abstracts, author keywords, and additional keywords, to find papers highly relevant to research on optical sensor-based user behavior recognition in smart homes. The search criteria for thematic words are as follows: (1) With smart homes as the primary research context and considering their characteristics and usage environments, the first-level search theme revolves around three categories-"intelligence", "home", and "product". The related thematic word collection includes "smart, intelligen*, automat*"; "home*, household, house, domestic, room, kitchen, toilet, basement, garden"; "product, supplies, item, appliance", searching for papers containing two or more of these thematic words.…”

“…In smart homes, optical sensors, as one of the main information perception tools, can play an important role in behavior recognition, environmental monitoring, material analysis, etc. With the advantages of being non-invasive, having less restriction of behavior detection and being low cost, optical sensors can obtain user behavior information by sensing changes in different light and provide real-time user behavior data, which are a hot topic of concern for scholars in various fields [1][2][3]. However, affected by complex home environments such as lighting conditions, the number of users, the range and amplitude of activities, intelligent terminals have to process more and more information.…”
