Description
Summary:The research reported in this paper is related to an assistive technology that may be used by healthcare services for elderly and disabled people. A system for non-intrusive monitoring of the movements of such persons in their home environment, based on impulse-radar sensors, is adressed. A large family of new procedures for the estimation of position and walking velocity of a monitored person, on the basis of data acquired in such a system, is presented. These procedures are compared using measurement data acquired in laboratory conditions. A set of Pareto-optimal procedures is selected.
