RFIDCam: a RFID-Aided Visual Tracking System

Abstract

With the rapid economic development and the substantial improvement of living standards, intelligent video surveillance technology has attracted widespread attention due to its huge natural advantages and has gradually become a research hotspot across the world. RFID is a non-contact automatic identification technology that automatically identifies target objects and obtains relevant data. Besides it requires no human intervention, the identification work can be used in various complicated and harsh environments. By placing RFID tags on valuable objects and installing RFID reader devices near the surveillance cameras, it can monitor whether valuables pass through the monitoring area and integrate RFID technology into the intelligent video surveillance system to help the system accomplish the target recognition and detection track. Therefore, based on the in-depth study of the current intelligent video surveillance technology, this paper proposes an RFID-based intelligent video surveillance system-RFIDCam, and builds a small experimental platform to verify the feasibility and the effectiveness of RFIDCam.
