Firstly, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), Wavelet Transform (WT) and Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) are adopted to extract features of the human body, which can be achieved by single PIR sensor. Then, we apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to reduce the characteristic dimensions and to classify the human targets, respectively. Finally, Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) is utilized to fuse recognition results from multiple PIR sensors to finalize human identification. The pyroelectric characteristics under scenarios with different people and\/or different paths are analyzed by various experiments, and the recognition results with\/without fusion procedure are also shown and compared. The experimental results demonstrate our scheme has improved efficiency for human identification.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a7040685","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,19]],"date-time":"2014-12-19T02:56:41Z","timestamp":1418957801000},"page":"685-702","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Fusion of Multiple Pyroelectric Characteristics for Human  Body Identification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Wanchun","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Fiber Optical Sensing Technology and Information Processing, Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Broadband Wireless Communication and Sensor Network, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Fiber Optical Sensing Technology and Information Processing, Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Broadband Wireless Communication and Sensor Network, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8612-1756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fangmin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Fiber Optical Sensing Technology and Information Processing, Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Broadband Wireless Communication and Sensor Network, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Fiber Optical Sensing Technology and Information Processing, Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Broadband Wireless Communication and Sensor Network, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Fiber Optical Sensing Technology and Information Processing, Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Broadband Wireless Communication and Sensor Network, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430070, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"827","DOI":"10.1016\/j.patrec.2008.10.008","article-title":"Robust human tracking based on multi-cue integration and mean-shift","volume":"30","author":"Hong","year":"2009","journal-title":"Pattern Recognit.
