From Motion Sensors to Wearable Cameras

Shiraga et al proposed a novel gait-based person authentication by wearable cameras, and quantitatively evaluate its authentication accuracy; which is in contrast to previous methods using motion sensors. They utilized wearable cameras for personal authentication by examining motion during walking…

Research on wireless sensor networks node localization

Different sensors in different information and their exploitation in intelligent tasks remain a challenge. Given a wireless sensor network consisting of low-power devices, localization is the task of discovering the 2D or 3D positions of the sensor nodes. According to…
