Since pretend play improves children's imagination, we propose a system using pretended play to increase art appreciation in a way children find interesting. With the proposed system, a player can interact with projections of animal footprints that respond to human movement. The system, which we have developed and explain in this paper, measures the position of the player using a Kinect sensor and the footprints change based on the position of the player. In this manuscript, we describe the outline of the under developing system. In addition, we demonstrate using experiments that the Kinect sensor can be applied to accurately recognize the body positions of users. This is the first step towards realizing the proposed art system for children.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132357159","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}

As will be shown in the paper, vehicle mass is a strong influencing factor, especially in urban traffic. Depending on passenger volume, the total mass and range of the bus varies by about 30 percent. Therefore, this paper presents a viable methodology to detect changes in payload using high precision tire pressure sensors.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131715434","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}

Monitoring is mainly conducted through wireless wildlife monitoring systems (WMS) due to their energy-efficiency and scalability properties. However, using WMS often involves the deployment of energy demanding wireless radio technologies and protocols that significantly increase energy consumption while tracking mobile animals. Thanks to the raise of IoT devices capable of sensing, computing, and wireless networking, WMS can become more efficient and overcome the initial drawbacks. This paper, describes an activity driven beaconing mechanism based on unsupervised activity classification scheme. The algorithm is evaluated for different parameters involving the sampling rate, processing window as well as different cluster sizes. The evaluation shows that use of lightweight algorithms and low sampling rates provides the possibility to reliably monitor the activity of the animal. The evaluation results showed that the proposed mechanism could reduce energy consumption by increasing communication sleep-time while the objects were stationary.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133242160","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 the current research, we have developed a sensing polymer system for the detection of side effects of cancer chemotherapy on human kidneys for determining the creatinine levels. The proposed research is related to the real-time detection of levels creatinine in an aqueous medium. The polymer was surface characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Energy dispersive analysis X-ray (EDAX) and found to be structurally isotropic as well as monodispersed and chemically pure in nature. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the successful removal of creatinine from the MIP polymer by breaking Amide bonding. The sensing polymer system is able to determine concentrations within the range of 1 – 50 parts per million (ppm) when checked using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). The results highlight the future possibility of modifying this system for early levels of creatinine rise for preventing life-threatening conditions and providing indications to medical practitioners in the form of ppm unit results where they can alter the chemotherapy medications or reduce the total drug dosage to avoid health disorders such as Acute Kidney Damage and Acute Kidney Failure.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114745543","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 such large-scale and dynamic systems, the fundamental issue is whether one entity can securely communicate with another and if so, then to what extent. In the IoT, entities must interact with one another often in unknown and uncertain circumstances. Therefore, in such systems, it is important to include mechanisms that can help in such interactions by overcoming this uncertainty. We argue that the notion of trust can assist in addressing such issues. Trust mechanisms allow entities to decide whether or not to interact with other entities. However, the concept of trust is used with different meanings and in various contexts. Research into the metrics and methods for establishing trust in dynamic IoT systems is still in its early stages. Implementing trust in an IoT system is challenging due to the nature of the IoT systems themselves. In this paper, we propose a trust management framework that can improve access control mechanisms easing the decision making process under uncertainty. We introduce a well-defined trust model for IoT supporting attribute-based identity without the need for unique concrete identification of an entity. Finally, we develop a theoretical foundation for a trust model that can support our decision making work on access control in large-scale IoT systems.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127825762","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}

Crowd-sourced data can complement these official data sources, allowing authorities to improve and fill gaps in the hazard assessment process. However, collecting this information from volunteers, with no technical knowledge and while using low-cost equipment such their smart phones and tablets, raises the question of quality and consistency. To alleviate this barrier two mobile applications were developed in the context of H2020 Scent project (grant agreement No. 688930). The Scent Explore guides volunteers to areas of interests and supports them in the collection of video and images. These multimedia are processed in the back-end, image recognition techniques extract the water level from images containing a measuring tape and video processing algorithms extract the water surface velocity from video containing a predefined floating object moving on the surface of a water body, to extract river measurements as needed. The Scent Measure communicates with the portable sensors available at the area of interest and records the air temperature and the soil moisture. We present here a complete monitoring system where crowd-sourced environmental measurements are harmonised and integrated as complementary to the in-situ monitoring system, installed at the Kifisos basin, in the process of developing improved flood models.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123798763","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}
