Provided is a method and a system for multi-channel acoustic communication and sensing. For example, there is provided a system that includes a processor and a memory. The processor, when executing instructions from the memory, can perform certain operations. The operations can include classifying a motion detected near an ultrasonic receiver based on a Doppler shift observed in a signal measured by the ultrasonic receiver. The classifying can further include detecting a side lobe in a power spectrum of the signal to indicate that the motion has been detected.

Method and system for multi-channel acoustic communication and sensing

The specification and drawings present methodology for modularly expanding sensing capabilities of a luminaire or a luminaire mounted sensing system by adding replaceable exterior sensor module(s) in a desired position in a vicinity of an existing (legacy) luminaire or a luminaire system for both inside and outside applications. For outside applications, this modular expansion may be performed while maintaining weathertight sealing integrity, e.g., waterproofing of the luminaire-sensor system/apparatus including exterior housing, exterior electrical connections, cables and any other exposed components. The embodiments described herein can provide diverse sensor capability and future expansion needs for luminaire mounted sensing systems and for processing sensor signals.

The specification and drawings present a use of multiple microphones for increasing acoustic sensing capabilities by processing acoustic signals from the multiple microphones in outdoor luminaire mounted surveillance/sensor systems. For example, various embodiments presented herein describe signal processing means to utilize stereo/multiple microphones in a luminaire (such as an outdoor roadway luminaire) to provide enhanced information regarding the surroundings of the luminaire. The multiple microphone luminaire sensor processing system can provide a more environmentally robust and sensitive approach which can be, for example, resistant to environmental noise such as a wind noise, as well as capable of isolating specific sounds from the surroundings, e.g., in specific directions.
