Recognition of Simple Gestures Using a PIR Sensor Array

Journal Article
Wojtczuk, P., Armitage, A., Binnie, T. D., & Chamberlain, T. (2012)
Recognition of Simple Gestures Using a PIR Sensor Array. Sensors & transducers, 14-1(Special Issue), 83-94
We present an approach that is intended for simple gesture control using a relatively inexpensive pyroelectric array detector. The detector is manufactured using standard wafe...
