The fact that almost every person owns a smartphone device that can be precisely located is both empowering and worrying. If methods for accurate tracking of devices (and their owners) via WiFi probing are developed in a responsible way,…
Understanding crowd behaviors in a large social event is crucial for event management. Passive WiFi sensing, by collecting WiFi probe requests sent from mobile devices, provides a better way to monitor crowds compared with people counters…
We present experimental results and theoretical methods for the precise determination of the presence and the number of persons in an observed area by using Wi-Fi signals. Our setup does not require active cooperation of persons present in…
Counting the number of people inside a building, from outside and without entering the building, is crucial for many applications. In this paper, we are interested in counting the total number of people walking inside a building (or in…
This paper introduces a novel method for estimating the size of seated crowds with commodity WiFi signals, by leveraging natural body fidgeting behaviors as a passive sensing cue. Departing from prior binary fidget representations, our…
Today's societies are enveloped in an ever-growing telecommunication infrastructure. This infrastructure offers important opportunities for sensing and recording a multitude of human behaviors. Human mobility patterns are a prominent…
In this paper we focus on the problem of human activity recognition without identification of the individuals in a scene. We consider using Wi-Fi signals to detect certain human mobility behaviors such as stationary, walking, or running.…
Due to the severe multipath effect, no satisfactory device-free methods have ever been found for indoor speed estimation problem, especially in non-line-of-sight scenarios, where the direct path between the source and observer is blocked.…
Information about the spatiotemporal flow of humans within an urban context has a wide plethora of applications. Currently, although there are many different approaches to collect such data, there lacks a standardized framework to analyze…
Proximity detection in indoor environments based on WiFi signals has gained significant attention in recent years. Existing works rely on the dynamic signal reflections and their extracted features are dependent on motion strength. To…
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has been richly researched in past years particularly with regard to range-based or visual-based sensors. Instead of deploying dedicated devices that use visual features, it is more pragmatic to…
This paper proposes a novel approach for detecting groups of people that walk "together" (group mobility) as well as the people who walk "alone" (individual movements) using wireless signals. We exploit multiple wireless sniffers to…
Crowd behaviour analytics focuses on behavioural characteristics of groups of people instead of individuals' activities. This work considers human queuing behaviour which is a specific crowd behavior of groups. We design a plug-and-play…
We conducted a simple experiment in which one pedestrian passed through a crowded area and measured the body-rotational angular velocity with commercial tablets. Then, we developed a new method for predicting crowd density by applying the…
This paper presents a mobile crowdsensing approach to identify the indoor points of interest (POI) by exploiting Wi-Fi similarity measurements. Since indoor environments are lacking the GPS positioning accuracy when compared to outdoors, we…
We study six months of human mobility data, including WiFi and GPS traces recorded with high temporal resolution, and find that time series of WiFi scans contain a strong latent location signal. In fact, due to inherent stability and low…
This paper presents a crowd monitoring system based on the passive detection of probe requests. The system meets strict privacy requirements and is suited to monitoring events or buildings with a least a few hundreds of attendees. We…
Passive human tracking via Wi-Fi has been researched broadly in the past decade. Besides straight-forward anchor point localization, velocity is another vital sign adopted by the existing approaches to infer user trajectory. However,…
An understanding of pedestrian dynamics is indispensable for numerous urban applications including the design of transportation networks and planing for business development. Pedestrian counting often requires utilizing manual or technical…
