High resolution, low cost, privacy preserving human motion tracking system via passive thermal sensing
Thermal imaging is powerful but expensive. This thesis presents an alternative thermal sensing system capable of tracking human motion by using a novel projection mechanism from an array of inexpensive single-bit thermal sensors. Since thermal sensor performance is currently limited by lengthy …
