Activities may be determined using recorded video and 2D-CNNs, however video recordings present privacy and coverage challenges in personal spaces. Smartphones and newer wristworn devices that record motion data can also be used for activity recognition tasks. Ankle or shoe-based devices such as the retired Nike+ sensor are less common, however ear-based devices which may record head movement are gaining popularity. In this work we use accelerometer data from a recently released dataset using devices placed on the ankle, hip, and wrist. First, we evaluate a simple 1D-CNNs ability to classify the 17 included activities in subject-dependent and subject-independent analysis. Then we process the accelerometer data from the three sensors individually to evaluate each location’s ability to predict activities. Finally, we develop a functional model which independently executes a 1D-CNN for each sensor’s data and combines the results using Global Average Pooling. The functional model achieves a subject-independent accuracy of 70.7%.","PeriodicalId":157754,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125580080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IEs are often supported by wireless networks of smart sensors and actuators, which offer multi-year battery life within small packages. However, existing radio mesh networks suffer from high latency, which precludes their use in many user interface systems such as real-time speech, touch or positioning. While recent advances in optical networks promise low end-to-end latency through symbol-synchronous transmission, current approaches are power hungry and therefore cannot be battery powered. We tackle this problem by introducing BoboLink, a mesh network that delivers low-power and low-latency optical networking through a combination of symbol-synchronous transmission and a novel wake-up technology. BoboLink delivers mesh-wide wake-up in 1.13ms, with a quiescent power consumption of 237µW. This enables building-wide human computer interfaces to be seamlessly delivered using wireless mesh networks for the first time.","PeriodicalId":157754,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133895462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve installation difficulty, the size issues of the necessary equipment, and privacy issues of the existing traffic counter, we are conducting research and development of portable traffic counters using a vibration sensor and machine learning. However, vehicle type classification was not realized in the previous work, hence it was not possible to survey traffic volume by vehicle types. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, there is no existing study that can detect and classify vehicles based on road vibrations with a single sensor. In this paper, we propose a method of vehicle type classification that is capable of binary classification of small and large vehicles by machine learning combined with Support Vector Machine and Random Forest for vibrations of passing vehicles. We evaluated the proposed method by conducting measurements for up to 12 hours at two actual road locations. We tested over 5 hours of data and confirmed that small vehicles classified with the F-measure of 0.96 and large vehicles with the F-measure of 0.83.","PeriodicalId":157754,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116333140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This hinders their practical deployment on edge devices in realistic environments. In this paper, we introduce a novel micro-size LiDAR device for understanding human mobility in the surrounding environment. The device is supplied with an on-device lightweight human segmentation technique for the captured 3D point cloud data using density-based clustering. The proposed technique significantly reduces the computational complexity of the clustering algorithm by leveraging the Spatiotemporal relation between consecutive frames. We implemented and evaluated the proposed technique in a real-world environment.

Could robotic environments be perceived and interacted with as socially intelligent agents? If so, how should we design a Socially Interactive, Robotic Environment (SIRE)? To address the first question, we offer the empirical evidence and theoretical support of SIREs. We then address the second question by discussing the “Spatial Design” and “Interaction Design” of SIREs through an explorative, pattern-based approach. For “Spatial Design,” we present a co-design study for a partner-like office, generating new spatial patterns that form pattern languages to convey sociality to individual users. For “Interaction Design,” we employed four “Design Patterns for Sociality in HRI.” Our results show that “Spatial Patterns” and “HRI Patterns” can be integrated as one pattern language for sociality and that such a pattern language can vary from person to person. Through the explorative works of this paper, we wish to introduce SIRE to IE communities and cultivate the conversation about the design and application of SIREs in everyday life.","PeriodicalId":157754,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121937243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the sensor can detect at minimum, a 1.4% change in nutrient concentration. Additionally, it was shown that the sensor can operate in various ambient light settings (indoor and outdoor) after calibration. A study of NYC’s green spaces shows that, on average, soil in street-tree pits that supports plant life has 54% more N, 34% more P, and 37% more K than park spaces, respectively.

In a network of interconnected VG-hubs, deciding the entire power distribution path every time a load changes results in disruption of the power flow during operation as well as high-cost of recomputing over the entire network. Therefore, we propose Minimum-Hop Power-Path Routing (MHPPR), which determines a new power flow only at the hub where the load fluctuates. In the MHPPR, the route that minimizes the total number of hops from the power supply source to the load is determined to achieve the goal of the nearest power supply. In this study, we show that the power flow is more efficiently determined compared to the case of recalculation of the entire network when the load changes.","PeriodicalId":157754,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134108382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the widespread availability of cellular networks and their support by commodity cellphones, cellular-based systems have recently been proposed as a means of achieving this. However, because of the inherent noise and instability of wireless signals, localization accuracy typically degrades and is not robust to the dynamic heterogeneity of mobile devices.In this paper, we present a CellStory, a deep learning-based floor estimation system that achieves a fine-grained and robust accuracy in the presence of noise. CellStory combines stacked denoising autoencoder learning models, and a probabilistic framework to handle noise in the received signal and capture the complex relationship between the signals detected by the mobile phone and its location. Evaluation using different Android phones in a real testbed shows that CellStory can accurately estimate the user’s floor 98.7% of the time and within one floor error 100% of the time. This accuracy demonstrates CellStory’s superiority over state-of-the-art systems as well as its robustness to heterogeneous devices.","PeriodicalId":157754,"journal":{"name":"2022 18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127631661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
