  2. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

    A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors . PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.

  3. Camera trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_trap

    A camera trap with a passive infrared (PIR) sensor. A camera trap is a camera that is automatically triggered by motion in its vicinity, like the presence of an animal or a human being. It is typically equipped with a motion sensor—usually a passive infrared (PIR) sensor or an active infrared (AIR) sensor using an infrared light beam. [1]

  4. Motion detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

    A motion detector attached to an outdoor, automatic light. A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection).Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area.

  5. Infrared detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_detector

    An infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic ( photodetectors ). The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena. [ 2 ]

  6. Occupancy sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupancy_sensor

    Occupancy sensor types include: PIR sensors, which work on heat difference detection, measuring infrared radiation.Inside the device is a pyroelectric sensor which can detect the sudden presence of objects (such as humans) who radiate a temperature different from the temperature of the background, such as the room temperature of a wall.

  7. Code motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_motion

    A diagram depicting an optimizing compiler removing a potentially useless call to assembly instruction "b" by sinking it to its point of use. Code Sinking, also known as lazy code motion, is a term for a technique that reduces wasted instructions by moving instructions to branches in which they are used: [1] If an operation is executed before a branch, and only one of the branch paths use the ...

  8. Electro-optical MASINT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optical_MASINT

    Depending on the application, the sensitive but less selective sensor is either acoustic or non-imaging electro-optical. The selective sensor is forward looking infrared radiation (FLIR). Electro-optical components of Rocket Launch Spotter system. RLS uses two TADIRCM sensors, an INU, and a smaller field-of-view single-color (FLIR) camera on ...

  9. Unattended ground sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unattended_ground_sensor

    The gateway bridges U-UGS sensor field to the FCS network and relays motion alarm and image data. It's capable to be monitored locally by a soldier or remotely through a FCS network enabled modulevehicle. The intrusion node is a motion sensor that detects movement and is able to tell the difference between animal and human beings.
