| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) We have proposed a new accurate ultrasonic distance-measurement method. Ultrasonic waves at discrete frequencies which correspond to those of IFFT procedure are transmitted. Based on the relative amplitudes and phases between the received and transmitted waves, the impulse responses can be calculated, which can provide accurate distance information. (2) We have shown that if we subtract the impulse responses at a bit different times we can detect only moving object excluding effects of non-active objects. We also confirmed the possibility of monitoring the elderly in care environment without any invasion of privacy. (3) We constructed automatic measurement systems based on Lock-in amplifier controlled by PC. They correspond to pseudo-sensor nodes and pseudo-center node, which indicate that these systems will be installed in ZigBee based sensor network.
