In this paper, action recognition in an indoor environment using low-resolution sensor is considered. In this environment, several studies have been carried out in visible imagery. Despite impressive performances, the main pitfall faced by the techniques developed is a marked restraint of the users to be filmed. To cope with the problems of personal identity revealed during the surveillance, we opted within the CoCAPS project for using a low resolution (64 x 64 pixels) infrared sensor with ceiling position which guarantees the respect of the intimacy of the person. Defined in collaboration with the industrial partners involved in the CoCAPS project, the scenarios targeted concern office situations and 7 classes of action have been selected, namely: no action, restlessness, sitting down, standing up, turning sitting on a seat, slow walking, fast walking. Classical approaches such as those based on the computation of shape descriptors (such as geometric and Color Histogram of Oriented Phases (CHOP)) extracted from Motion History Image (MHI) are investigated to represent action video sequences. Within this first group of classical approaches, the performance of a proposed model based on statistical attributes constructed from the tracking of centers of gravity of segmented forms is also presented. The comparative study is then completed by considering other models extracted from deep learning literature (convolutional neural networks (3D-CNN), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM)). The results obtained from the comparative study show that the proposed model is very competitive and provides promising results (83% of f-score).","PeriodicalId":241426,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131933385","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}

An example of a fact can be: \"The number of Taxi trips in NYC on January 23, 2016, dropped drastically as compared to other days of the same month\". However, the data scientist may be left clueless if they cannot find a crisp explanation to such a fact. Furthermore, the tedious task of finding an explanation by manually scraping the data becomes even impossible with big data. Existing techniques are designed for non-spatial data which cannot be applied to spatial data because it does not consider the spatial proximity. In this paper, we propose an automatic framework which guides the data scientist to explain the fact discovered from mobility data. Our approach expands on the aggravation and intervention techniques while using spatial partitioning/clustering to improve explanations for spatial data. Experiments show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in finding the explanation for facts extracted from NYC taxi real mobility dataset.","PeriodicalId":241426,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132950362","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}

A large portion of them come from UGC applications (e.g., Twitter, Instagram), where the content provider are users themselves. Such applications are highly attractive for targeted marketing and recommendation, which have been well studied in recommendation system. In this paper, we consider this from a brand new spatial aspect using UGC contents only. To do this we first representing each message as a point with its geo info as its location and then grouping all the points by their keywords to form multiple point groups. We form a similarity search problem that given a query keyword, our problem aims to find k keywords with the most similar distribution of locations. Our case study shows that with similar distribution, the keywords are highly likely to have semantic connections. However, the performance of existing solutions degrades when different point groups have significant overlapping, which frequently happens in UGC contents. We propose efficient techniques to process similarity search on this kind of point groups. Experimental results on Twitter data demonstrate that our solution is faster than the state-of-the-art by up to 6 times.","PeriodicalId":241426,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126867131","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}

Existing indoor-outdoor navigation and localization systems have evolved to support queries like the shortest distance, either outdoor or indoor, with additional constraints. However, most of them work in isolation and do not take into consideration the external natural conditions, like the weather, that an individual may experience walking outside during a polar vortex or heatwave. In this paper, we present CAPRIO, a context-aware path recommendation system whose objectives are two-fold: (i) minimizing outdoor exposure; and (ii) minimizing the distance of the recommended path. We propose a novel graph representation that integrates indoor and outdoor information to discover paths that satisfy outdoor exposure and distance constraints. We measure the efficiency of the proposed solution using two real datasets collected from the University of Pittsburgh and University of Cyprus campuses. We show that we can achieve comparable distance to the state-of-the-art in minimizing outdoor exposure.","PeriodicalId":241426,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114930040","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}

However, the lack of encryption and authentication makes GPS vulnerable to spoofing attacks with the purpose of hijacking aerial vehicles or threatening air safety. In this paper, we propose GPS-Probe, a GPS spoofing detection algorithm that leverages the ATC messages that are periodically broadcasted by aerial vehicles. By continuously analyzing the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and the timestamps at server (TSS) of the ATC messages, which are monitored by multiple ground sensors, GPS-Probe constructs a machine learning enabled framework to estimate the real position of the target aerial vehicle and to detect whether or not the position data is compromised by GPS spoofing attacks. Unlike existing techniques, GPS-Probe neither requires any updates of the GPS infrastructure nor updates of the GPS receivers. More importantly, it releases the requirement on time synchronization of the ground sensors distributed around the world. Using the real-world ATC data crowdsourced by the OpenSky Network, our experiment results show that GPS-Probe can achieve the detection accuracy and precision, of 81.7% and 85.3% respectively on average, and up to 89.7% and 91.5% respectively at the best.","PeriodicalId":241426,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM)","volume":"308 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134498161","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}

In our proposed problem, we assume that trucks travel on road networks, and UAVs move in Euclidean spaces and can launch at any locations on roads. We first demonstrate the overview of our exact solution that iterates all permutations of destinations for an optimal delivery route. Given a specific delivery order, an intuitive approach needs to check all possible locations on roads in the VLOS areas and find a globally optimal location for every destination if UAVs are used for delivery. To avoid high computational cost of searching the optimal location at runtime, we propose an advanced index-based alternative, which computes optimal delivery routes in a pre-processing stage. Due to the nature of NP-hard problems, we also propose a heuristic approach that utilizes delivery groups for the proposed problem of practical size.

The method is distinguished from the existing semi-supervised learning methods in that it uses address-labeled fingerprints collected during offline mobile payments for its location references. Despite inexactly specified location references, the method finds an optimal placement of location-unlabeled fingerprint sequences by varying the locations of address-labeled fingerprints. When the proposed method was evaluated at three large-scale landmark buildings in Seoul, the effectiveness of using location references collected during mobile payments for the proposed adaptive semi-supervised location-labeling method was apparent. Highly precise radio maps could be constructed for the buildings without any manual calibration efforts. The method can be used to automatically construct radio maps for most downtown buildings.","PeriodicalId":241426,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126956948","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}
