Situation-Awareness and Sensor Stream Mining for Sustainable Human Life

Criminal activities cause a huge amount of loss both financially and in terms of human lives. Because of these acts, business and social sectors are struggling. This paper illustrates the development of an online sensor stream mining system that is able to analyze the situational behavior of all of the persons in specific areas and in turn propose real-time alert systems to take countermeasures. This system gathers different information from heterogeneous sensors, fuse that information, and generate real-time alerts to minimize the likelihood of disaster. These alerts and alarms assist security personnel in making appropriate decisions in real-time scenarios. The novelty of this approach comprises context-awareness with online diagnoses to take countermeasures in real-time to reduce the loss of lives, and damage to societies and economies. This technique makes the sensor stream mining process more dependable and increases the reliability of the overall system. To fulfill the objectives of this research, we incorporate lightweight online mining algorithms to extract useful but hidden information from the data gathered. Contextual information such as a person’s pattern of movement, current location, personal profile, and area of residence are exploited to detect anomalous behaviors. The major goal of this research is to detect those persons performing malicious activities and in turn minimize society’s exposure to risks and vulnerabilities.
