Abstract:
In the previous stage of our research, we have developed a soft authentication system using a ceiling sensor network. Our aim has been to exclude psychological and physical load caused by using strict biometrics, video camera, and so on. We introduced a notion of distributed personality for authentication and tracking of several persons. Through experimental results, we confirmed that the system could keep track of up to 5 persons. However, it has been found the performance is not enough for practical use, and then we have reconstructed and improved the system. In this position paper, we present the design policy, overview of the network system, and the obtained performance.
