Talk:Motion detection

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I propose to add a new section at the bottom providing more information on the use of motion detection for lighting control, as an energy saving strategy. I am a scientist at the National Research Council Canada, and one of the areas I work on is lighting controls; I provided most of the content for Daylight harvesting. I can provide many references from my own peer-reviewed research work (COI disclosure), and that of others. Another place to put this proposed content would be the Over illumination page, but this page contains many ideas. I think it's better to expand Motion detection with the technology-specific content, and then link to it from Over illumination. Pelham88 (talk) 14:02, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

good idea to merge since the subjects are the same Anlace 04:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

agreed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 21:48 1st august 2006

I disagree as I found this article while doing a search related to physics and a motion sensor we used in lab. The article should be expanded perhaps instead of merged into security. --Komodo9mm

Motion Detector should be merged with this article, they are too similar in topic and use to be seperate. A motion detector is a device that is capable of "motion detection" and therefore the two should be integrated. Cheifsguy 22:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC) I strongly disagree because then the motion detector article would be gone. Iluvuzumaki 04:10, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, in the examples you provided, the articles had at least 5 inline references. These arguments are moote if neither option is supported by facts. WP:A Alan.ca 07:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
agree with Alan.ca on this point. also note dishwashing and diswasher is not a good analogy, since most dishwashing in the world occurs without machinery, whereas motion detection is intrinsically related to certain hardware. Anlace 19:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I came to the page looking for motion detection as implemented in software (inferring image flows)... so this would be not really related to the idea of a "motion detector" as most often used, I guess... this sort of system isn't necessarily "yes/no", as in security, but can speculate about motion of regions of a video scene with respect to time. So... I oppose the merger.

Propose New Section - Motion Sensing Controllers

[edit]

Both Wii Remote and PlayStation Move link to this article, which seems to focus on motion detector technology. I suggest a new section with these controllers and the Sixense TrueMotion.Mister Mormon (talk) 17:48, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sound Detection

[edit]

Sound detection is not motion detection and should be removed from this article entirely. Although typically associated with motion detection in the use of dual technology lighting controls (such as SensorSwitch Passive Dual Technology - PIR + Microphonic), it is not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davey5505 (talk • contribs) 03:37, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

It seems a no-brainer to me that Motion detection and Motion detector should be merged, despite the lack of conensus last time. There is complete overlap of scope, and it is hard to imagine any basis on which two separate articles could be justified, given that detection inevitably involves some kind of detector, and that the function of a detector is inevitably detection. I think this needs to be looked at again. I have no opinion about which way round the merger should be performed. 86.128.4.161 (talk) 20:42, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They should be merged into the motion detector title. Like we have smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, heat detector, glass break detector etc., but no articles smoke detection, carbon monoxide detection, heat detection, glass break detection. 2602:306:3653:8440:3DAB:1747:3922:C6B (talk) 01:31, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
