However, intensive tourism has caused significant social, urban, and environmental problems. In order to improve tourism management processes and within the context of a smart tourism scenario, renewed management approaches are emerging with the aim to use the latest IT technologies to increase profits and offer new sustainable models in tourism destinations. Importantly, one key issue in tourism destinations for supporting management and planning is predicting tourist occupancy. Unfortunately, the so-called second-home tourism destinations have no reliable accommodation data coming from hospitality establishments. To overcome this pitfall, in this article, the prediction of tourist occupancy is presented based on the analysis of residential accommodation booking data and people’s comments on social networks. The analysis focuses on Torrevieja (South-eastern Spain); one of the most important second-home tourist destinations worldwide. On one hand, an ARIMA model is carried out with the time series of AirBnB bookings. On the other hand, Twitter data related to Torrevieja is analyzed by identifying main topics and entities. Our results show that AirBnB bookings estimation can be made by measuring the number of people sending posts on Twitter about tourism-related topics.","PeriodicalId":439212,"journal":{"name":"2023 19th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129780247","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 contrast to conventional Smart Objects, however, as computational software/hardware-systems, lending themselves to the object-oriented perspective of conventional ontology specification languages, SMat and IE in the wider sense require a perspective focussing on extended spaces and numerical domains. Both are known to be problematic in terms of usability and computational complexity for the traditional object-oriented languages, with even very basic notions already leading into undecidability. Context Logic (CL), in contrast, is a formalism specialized for these domains. This paper demonstrates how terminology from this area involving extended spaces and numerical domains can be modeled in CL.","PeriodicalId":439212,"journal":{"name":"2023 19th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"263 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123362230","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}

RGB cameras are most often used as sensors in this type of spatial recognition, and a particularly important task is the detection and tracking of objects and people in physical space. However, the camera positions and orientations on AR devices such as smartphones and smart glasses, frequently change due to the user wearing them on their head, leading to non-linear and complex motion in the video frames and reducing the accuracy of tracking people. To address this issue, the proposed method combines person re-identification based on deep metric learning with trajectory prediction to estimate the person’s sequential positions in 3D space around the camera.

While performing their daily activities, humans trigger sensors producing measurements that flow into a sensor log. Vast majority of techniques to recognize and exploit the occurrences of human activities are supervised, requiring the log to be manually labeled in correspondence of the onset and the end of each activity repetition. This task requires a considerable effort by the final user, resulting in imprecise labeling tampering the performance of algorithms. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised technique allowing to automatically segment smart home logs containing position sensor measurements. The proposed technique exploits information about the position of the human to automatically extract basic actions, which are then segmented on a temporal basis and clustered. The approach is evaluated against a state-of-the-art dataset.","PeriodicalId":439212,"journal":{"name":"2023 19th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131636611","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}

High-resolution spatial and temporal monitoring systems are mandatory to (1) identify these threats, (2) understand the main problems affecting these ecosystems, and (3) predict how these ecosystems will behave in the future. In this paper, we present a monitoring system based on the European remote sensing service Copernicus that allows daily monitoring of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) for the Mar Menor lagoon (Southeast Spain). Moreover, several machine learning (ML) models are analyzed to adapt the collected data to the particular context of the shallow and highly saline Mar Menor. The accuracy of the models are satisfactory, obtaining a global model with 0.9 value of R2 and 0.75 mg/m3 of mean absolute error. Also, this model is able to describe the algal bloom that provoke Chl-a peaks concentrations.","PeriodicalId":439212,"journal":{"name":"2023 19th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127759463","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}

Normally, road operators have the infrastructure in place to monitor such incidents, albeit in a reactive manner. In Spain, there are traffic cameras on major roads to check for possible incidents, however, incident notification is slow and not automated. As an alternative, this paper proposes a system for automatic real-time traffic alerts. Thus, 1,500 camera images from the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) deployed on the main Spanish roads are analyzed in real time every 4 minutes. These images are not preprocessed, they have different qualities and are also affected by weather conditions such as fog, rain, sun reflections, etc. The system uses several Deep Learning classification models trained on a well-known dataset of traffic images including flowing traffic, dense traffic, accidents and fires. These models are used to classify the DGT images in real time, with satisfactory initial results, detecting both flowing traffic and dense traffic.","PeriodicalId":439212,"journal":{"name":"2023 19th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE)","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115747496","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}
