Identifying a person with an acceleration sensor using tracking system in an intelligent space

This paper proposes a method for detection of human ID and accurate position estimation simultaneously in an intelligent environment. In the proposed method, a human being with an acceleration sensor including ID number is tracked by laser range scanners distributed in the intelligent environment. Human walking activities are measured and associated between laser range scanners and an acceleration sensor. The first experimental result shows a possibility of data association between laser range scanners and an acceleration sensor based on human walking time, number of steps and distances.
