The proposed method addresses the inherent limited depth range of a Kinect sensor in tracking an intruder further away. This is achieved by continuously monitoring the rotation angle of a Kinect sensor that is mounted on an independent pan-tilt unit (PTU). As the rotation angle approaches a crossover region, the current PTU signals the adjacent PTU to rotate towards this region, at which the adjacent unit then identifies and continues to track the intruder. Experiment results validate the feasibility of the proposed method in tracking an intruder at longer distances through cascaded Kinect sensors.","PeriodicalId":6620,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW)","volume":"71 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86565707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider the scope of 1m around the iBeacon as the target region and define seven-level field to describe tracking status. To avoid the fluctuation of the received Bluetooth signal strength, we design a max-vertical method to guide user correctly into the field of -20db, and then estimate direction by turning around in a circle. According to the inferred direction, user walks into the target region. Experimental results show that this scheme can help user accurately pursue the target iBeacon in the shortest time.","PeriodicalId":6620,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW)","volume":"74 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86653493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
