Efficient infrared sensor and camera based monitoring system

In this paper, an efficient control algorithm for infrared (IR) sensor based camera monitoring system is proposed. The aim of this algorithm is to detect and record the state of the motioned objects that cross the covered area by the monitoring scheme, in which both consumed power and storage capacity are reduced. This is done by controlling the work of the allocated cameras to operate independently depending on the received signals of the distributed IR sensors. The obtained results show the efficiency and powerful of the proposed system in terms of required power and storage capacity and coverage.
