RE: Ocupancy Detection

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave@xxxxxxx>]

This is where you need the use of a Neural Processor. Check out www.zisc.org or www.general-vision.com

 

The last one has a video recognition engine that can be used to detect when a room is occupied, moving or not. Can even track the object in the room or hall way etc. I have seen a demo of this kit and it is very very good. This is a real hardware neural processor (76 neurons per chip) and very very fast. Download the demo from the first site and give it a try out. The full dev kit is expensive but the chip itself is comparable in cost to a low end CPU.

 

I have a few ideas for this device for home automation once I get my hands on a few chips.

Don't know the practicalities of this but if you had a camera in a room could you not use software to tell if someone was moving around or even just sitting on the sofa. I know motion detection software is available but this would not help when sitting still, the system could know what an empty sofa looks like so work out if someone was on it.

 

Any thoughts or should I shut up.
