Using IR Sensors for Object Detection

Author: Nikhil Sharma, Priya Verma

Abstract: This paper presents an in-depth study on the utilization of Infrared (IR) sensors for object detection across various applications. IR sensors are known for their low cost, simple integration, and effectiveness in different environments. This study explores the underlying principles of IR sensors, their classification, design considerations, real-world implementations, and limitations. We discuss active and passive IR sensors, signal processing, and the integration of IR-based object detection systems in robotics, automated vehicles, and security systems. The results demonstrate that IR sensors, when calibrated and deployed effectively, provide reliable and efficient object detection solutions in both indoor and outdoor settings.
