However, a statistical model for motion tracking with DFS in multi-link scenarios has yet to be established, and uncertainties like the target's initial position can cause severe performance degradation. To address these challenges, we present an algorithm called ViWiTraj for DFS-based motion tracking in Multi-Link Wi-Fi environments. ViWiTraj incorporates a novel Doppler Frequency Shift (DFS) measurement model in multi-link scenarios that explicitly accounts for uncertainties in receiver positions and initial target location, enabling joint estimation of motion-tracking states and model parameters through structural variational inference. This approach improves Wi-Fi motion tracking usability and precision by reducing sensitivity to parameter uncertainties, improving tracking accuracy in multi-link environments, and decreasing reliance on prior knowledge of the environment and target. We have tested our algorithm in simulated and real-world scenarios with different uncertainty levels, demonstrating superior performance in Multi-Link motion tracking compared to existing methods.

Accurate identification and precise localization are critical in this task.

To address these challenges, we propose a fire detection method called YOLO-SAD, which integrates a Swin transformer, an attention and convolution mix (ACmix) module, and a decoupled head based on the YOLO (You Only Look Once) architecture. The Swin transformer is adept at extracting more discriminative features, and thus can mitigate issues related to feature diversity.
