Abstract
The invention relates to an occupant or presence detection system and method where movement detection of an infrared (IR) sensor device and presence detection of an image sensor device are combined. Information derived from an IR movement detection signal is combined with object locations extracted by the image sensor device to distinguish human beings from static objects and improve occupant or presence detection in various applications, such as light control, desk occupancy and people counting in office applications that use advanced sensing bundles (ASB).
