Abstract :
This paper presents a system of multiple people tracking by integrating distributed floor pressure sensors and RFID system. The distributed floor pressure sensor data is utilized to detect existing areas of people by finding high pressure areas. The RFID makes it possible to associate the areas with the ID names of people inside the areas. Experimental results proved that this system is capable of tracking more than three people in daily life situation.
