Low power wireless human detector utilizing thermopile infrared array sensor

This paper describes the low power consumption wireless human detector which can monitor wide area. We have developed the S-shaped thermopile infrared sensor element by utilizing micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) technology. The developed thermopile infrared array sensor achieved high temperature resolution and fast response time. Number of human who exists in the detection area is simply detected by the human detection process using temperature outputs from the thermopile infrared array sensor.
