Familiarization with the infrared world Thermal imaging systems extend human perception beyond the visible spectrum. Since their principle is based on the natural emission of energy by physical bodies, they represent today the subject of a great deal of interest in many fields, whether in the military field or in industry or in research laboratories. They can be employed to analyse physical properties of objects, such as their energy level or their surface appearance; they are also commonly used to observe scenes in particular conditions like night vision, or in order to increase the visibility range through haze and fogs. All of these applications exploit the properties of infrared radiation whose characteristics are described in this book. This is achieved in a manner which differs from other publications on the same subject in that the book is governed by the intention to progressively lead the reader to a complete understanding of the infrared. The author intends to link physical theory to each specific aspect of the elements involved in the detection process, from their physical origin up to energy mapping in a two-dimensional picture. However we thought that it was unnecessary to demonstrate again that which the reader will easily find in scientific literature, nor to write another data book. Our aim is to fill the gap between theory and practical application. The subject is vast: infrared systems combines a wide variety of disciplines and image interpretation depends on the precise understanding of various phenomena.

Figures 1 and 2 are simplified block diagrams of the Passive Infrared Motion Sensor (PIMS). Figure 3 shows the location of the 17 beams of coverage within the 20 ft. x 30 ft. specified area when the optics are mounted at 7 ft. 4 inches. The system is a motion detector using transient changes in the infrared background, within specified velocities, to generate alarms. A long term infrared source would eventually blend into the overall noise background and not be detected indefinitely. A filter is used to prevent visable light from generating alarms. Since infrared detection is passive any number of units can be placed in a particular location without interference. Infrared detection becomes less sensitive when the background temperature approaches that of the target (human intruder). Some care must be taken upon installation that clutter such as rapidly heating pipes, windows or air ducts are not located within one or more beams. Due to the long time constants involved in processing frequencies around .1 Hz, it is necessary to allow a 5 minute warmup before alarms can be considered genuine. (Author).

This book aims to capture recent advances and breakthroughs in in-home radar monitoring of human motions and activities. It addresses three key attributes of radar for in-door human monitoring, namely: motion classification including fall, detection of vital signs, and categorization of human gait for risk assessment and progression of physical impairments and disabilities. It explores recent developments in radar technology for human monitoring inside homes and residences. The reader will learn enhanced detection and classification techniques of radar signals associated with human micro- and macro-motions. Furthermore, the book includes examples using real data collected from healthy individuals, patients, and retirement communities based on the subject Doppler and range information, and using different single and multi-antenna radar system configurations. Results are also presented using modeled data based on biomechanics and kinematics. Indoor monitoring is further demonstrated using alternative technologies of infrared sensors and RF signals of opportunities.
