Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for locating an occupant within an area. The system includes a first sensor including a first plurality of pixels for receiving a thermal energy input from the occupant within a first field of view (FOV) and a second sensor including a second plurality of pixels for receiving the input within a second FOV. A first distance from the occupant to the first sensor is determined based on the input received by at least one pixel of the first plurality of pixels and a first sensor location from an origin. A second distance from the occupant to the second sensor is also determined based on the input received by at least one pixel of the second plurality of pixels and a second sensor location relative to the origin. A coordinate position for the occupant relative to the origin is determined based on the determined first and second distances.
