6 Occupancy and Motion Detectors September 11, 2001 has changed the way people think about airport, aviation, and security in general. The threat is expanding interest in more reliable systems to detect the presence of people within the protected perimeters. The occupancy sensors detect the presence of people (and sometimes animals) in a monitored area. Motion detectors respond only to moving objects. A distinction between the two is that the occupancy sensors produce signals whenever an object is stationary or not, whereas the motion detectors are selectively sensitive to moving objects. The applications of these sensors include security, surveillance, energy management, (electric lights control), personal safety, friendly home appliances, interactive toys, novelty products, and so forth. Depending on the applications, the presence of humans may be detected through any means associated with some kind of a human body’s property or body’s actions [1]. For instance, a detector may be sensitive to body weight, heat, sounds, dielectric constant, and so forth. The following types of detector are presently used for the occupancy and motion sensing of people: 1. Air pressure sensors: detects changes in air pressure resulted from opening doors and windows 2. Capacitive: detectors of human body capacitance 3. Acoustic: detectors of sound produced by people 4. Photoelectric: interruption of light beams by moving objects 5. Optoelectric: detection of variations in illumination or optical contrast in the protected area 6. Pressure mat switches: pressure-sensitive long strips used on floors beneath the carpets to detect weight of an intruder 7. Stress detectors: strain gauges imbedded into floor beams, staircases, and other structural components 8. Switch sensors: electrical contacts connected to doors and windows 9. Magnetic switches: a noncontact version of switch sensors 10. Vibration detectors: react to the vibration of walls or other building structures, also may be attached to doors or windows to detect movements 11. Glass breakage detectors: sensors reacting to specific vibrations produced by shattered glass
228 6 Occupancy and Motion Detectors 12. Infrared motion detectors: devices sensitive to heat waves emanated from warm or cold moving objects 13. Microwave detectors: active sensors responsive to microwave electromagnetic signals reflected from objects 14. Ultrasonic detectors: similar to microwaves except that instead of electromagnetic radiation, ultrasonic waves are used 15. Video motion detectors: video equipment which compares a stationary image stored in memory with the current image from the protected area 16. Video face recognition system: image analyzers that compare facial features with a database 17. Laser system detectors: similar to photoelectric detectors, except that they use narrow light beams and combinations of reflectors 18. Triboelectric detectors: sensors capable of detecting static electric charges carried by moving objects One of the major aggravations in detecting the occupancy or intrusion is a falsepositive detection. The term “false positive” means that the system indicates an intrusion when there is none. In some noncritical applications where false-positive detections occur occasionally, (e.g., in a toy or a motion switch controlling electric lights in a room), this may be not a serious problem: The lights will be erroneously turned on for a short time, which unlikely do any harm. 1 In other systems, especially used for security and military purposes, the false-positive detections, although generally not as dangerous as false-negative ones (missing an intrusion), may become a serious problem. While selecting a sensor for critical applications, considerations should be given to its reliability, selectivity, and noise immunity. It is often a good practice to form a multiple-sensor arrangement with symmetrical interface circuits. It may dramatically improve the reliability of a system, especially in the presence of external transmitted noise. Another efficient way to reduce erroneous detections is to use sensors operating on different physical principles [2] (e.g., combining capacitive and infrared detectors is an efficient combination, as they are receptive to different kinds of transmitted noise. 6.1 Ultrasonic Sensors These detectors are based on the transmission to the object and receiving reflected acoustic waves. A description of the ultrasonic detectors can be found in Section 7.6 of Chapter 7. For the motion detectors, they may require a somewhat longer operating range and a wider angle of coverage. 6.2 Microwave Motion Detectors The microwave detectors offer an attractive alternative to other detectors when it is required to cover large areas and to operate over an extended temperature range under the influence of strong interferences, such as wind, acoustic noise, fog, dust, 1 Perhaps just stirring up some agitation about the presence of a ghost.
