Abstract

We propose a system to identify people in a sensor network. The system fuses motion information measured from wearable accelerometer nodes with motion traces of each person detected by a camera node. This allows people to be uniquely identified with the IDs the accelerometer-node that they wear, while their positions are measured using the cameras. The system can run in real time, with high precision and recall results. A prototype implementation using iMote2s with camera boards and wearable TI EZ430 nodes with accelerometer sensorboards is also described.
