Intelligent Space （iSpace） is an environmental system, which is able to support human in informative and physical ways. iSpace observing the space with distributed sensors, extracts useful information from the obtained data and provides various services to users. This means that essential functions of iSpace are ＂observation＂, ＂recognition＂ and ＂actuation.＂ In this paper, we focus on the observation function of iSpace. And we describe observation systems to get information of both human and mobile agents in the space to show new results.展开更多
