Abstract :
A novel method is advanced in this approach; using cheap sensor module and combining a characteristic of sensor networks to attend to an overall monitoring, low-cost, and simplify. However, several systems use different kinds of sensor (i.e. radar, ultrasonic, and laser-scanner). They might be expensive, complexity and the monitoring area are limited. And in our research, a concept of image processing is recommended. Our sensor-board is produced by Dr Robot, Inc., pyroelectric human motion sensor module, the sensor can detect a motion and a presence alarm of target. The goal of our system is to save energy by controlling light and air condition. Users can get the heat source distribution; and control the air condition through our system effectively.
