In our work, we aim at implementing activity recognition approaches that are suitable for real life situations.

We present a new real world data set that has been collected from 15 participants for 8 common activities were they carried 7 wearable devices in different positions. Further, we introduce a device localization method that uses random forest classifiers to predict the device position based on acceleration data. We perform the most complete experiment in on-body device location that includes all relevant device positions for the recognition of a variety of different activities. We show that the method outperforms other approaches achieving an F-Measure of 89% across different positions. We also show that the detection of the device position consistently improves the result of activity recognition for common activities.","PeriodicalId":275797,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126673472","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 sensor is based on an 8×16 element fabric resistive pressure sensing matrix of 1cm spatial resolution, which can be read out with 50fps refresh rate. We evaluate the system by monitoring leg muscles during leg workouts in a gym out of the lab. The sensor covers the lower part of quadriceps of the user. The shape and movement of the two major muscles (vastus lateralis and medialis) are visible from the data during various exercises. The system registers the activity of the user for every second, including which machine he/she is using, walking, relaxing and adjusting the machines; it also counts the repetitions from each set and evaluate the force consistency which is related to the workout quality. 6 people participated in the experiment of overall 24 leg workout sessions. Each session includes cross-trainer warm-up and cool-down, 3 different leg machines, 4 sets on each machine. Plus relaxing, adjusting machines, and walking, we perform activity recognition and quality evaluation through 2-dimensional mapping and the time sequence of the average force. We have reached 81.7% average recognition accuracy on a 2s sliding window basis, 93.3% on an event basis, and 85.6% spotting F1-score. We further demonstrate how to evaluate the workout quality through counting, force pattern variation and consistency.","PeriodicalId":275797,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125632252","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}

These contexts and community structures are complex to mine from data collected in the wild due to the unprecedented growth of data, noise, uncertainties and complexities. Typical existing approaches would first extract the latent patterns to explain the human dynamics or behaviors and then use them as the way to consistently formulate numerical representations for community detection, often via a clustering method. While being able to capture highorder and complex representations, these two steps are performed separately. More importantly, they face a fundamental difficulty in determining the correct number of latent patterns and communities. This paper presents an approach that seamlessly addresses these challenges to simultaneously discover latent patterns and communities in a unified Bayesian nonparametric framework. Our Simultaneous Extraction of Context and Community (SECC) model roots in the nested Dirichlet process theory which allows nested structure to be built to explain data at multiple levels. We demonstrate our framework on three public datasets where the advantages of the proposed approach are validated.","PeriodicalId":275797,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117001617","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}

Decentralized room level Air Conditioners (ACs) are a commonplace in developing countries such as India, contributing a major share (34% in India) of the total residential energy consumption. Option to independently control each AC presents a prime opportunity for an energy saving system. Thus, we propose PACMAN to non-intrusively (using only the temperature information) predict AC energy consumption prior to usage and estimate energy consumption post-usage. We discuss various possible applications and use cases of such feedback for the occupants. To empirically validate the performance of PACMAN, we conducted an in-situ study across seven homes in Delhi (India). We collected around 2200 hours of usage data from the different ACs, room types, and thermostat temperatures. We achieved an average accuracy of 85.3% and 83.7% with the best accuracy of 97.0% and 93.3% for the estimation and prediction of AC energy consumption respectively, across all homes. Towards the end, we discuss various outlier scenarios, opening up multiple directions for further research in this domain.","PeriodicalId":275797,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123384684","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 promote traffic safety, we present SafeCam, a smartphone-based system that jointly leverages vehicle dynamics and the real-time traffic control information (e.g., traffic signals) to detect and study driver dangerous behaviors at intersections. In particular, SafeCam uses embedded sensors (i.e., inertial sensors) on the phone to generate soft hints tracking different driving conditions while at the same time adopts vision-based algorithms to recognize intersection-related critical driving events including unsafe turns, running stop signs and running red lights. In order to improve the system efficiency, we utilize adaptive color filtering under two lighting conditions (e.g., sunny and cloudy) and deploy the subsampling methods to make a trade off between the detection rate and the processing latency. In the evaluation, we conduct real-road driving experiments involving 15 drivers and 6 vehicles. The experiment results demonstrate that SafeCam is robust and effective in real-road driving environments, and has great potential to alert drivers for their dangerous behaviors at intersections and at the same time help them shape safe driving habits. Our experiments also reveal several interesting findings. 1) On average a driver failed to fully stop at stop signs 3 times in a trip of 3.5 km. 2) 11 out of 15 participants have lane drifting problems when they are making turns in the test. 3) Drivers took longer braking time when they approached a stop sign than a red light.","PeriodicalId":275797,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127156612","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 method of data collection can significantly reduce cost and turnover time, and is particularly useful in environmental sensing, where traditional means fail to provide fine-grained field data. In this study, we introduce hyperlocal spatial crowdsourcing, where all workers who are located within the spatiotemporal vicinity of a task are eligible to perform the task, e.g., reporting the precipitation level at their area and time. In this setting, there is often a budget constraint, either for every time period or for the entire campaign, on the number of workers to activate to perform tasks. The challenge is thus to maximize the number of assigned tasks under the budget constraint, despite the dynamic arrivals of workers and tasks as well as their co-location relationship. We study two problem variants in this paper: budget is constrained for every timestamp, i.e. fixed, and budget is constrained for the entire campaign, i.e. dynamic. For each variant, we study the complexity of its offline version and then propose several heuristics for the online version which exploit the spatial and temporal knowledge acquired over time. Extensive experiments with real-world and synthetic datasets show the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed solutions.","PeriodicalId":275797,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127333398","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}

One of the main obstacles for long-term participation in such systems is the users' privacy concerns. Due to the nature of these systems, users have to agree to provide some personalized information. Typically, however, people are reluctant to share any information, as it may be sensitive. This is especially the case if the content of the data in question is not completely transparent. In order to increase users' willingness to participate in such systems, we should help users identify which data they can share without violating their personal privacy policies. However, the perception of how sensitive a piece of information is may differ from user to user. In this paper, we propose the human-centric privacy measurement method PriMe, which quantifies privacy risks based on user preferences towards data sharing in participatory sensing systems. Further, we implemented and deployed PriMe in the real world as a user study for evaluation. The study shows that PriMe provides accurate ratings that fit users' individual perceptions of privacy, and is accepted by users as a trustworthy tool.","PeriodicalId":275797,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126028237","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}
