This outing is part of a larger music technology research project. The objective is to find a way to enhance music using hardware and software. This is the documentation for the Whimsical first part of the research project: it's an android…
Traditional pedestrian collision warning systems sometimes raise alarms even when there is no danger (e.g., when all pedestrians are walking on the sidewalk). These false alarms can make it difficult for drivers to concentrate on their…
Severe collisions can result from aggressive driving and poor road conditions, emphasizing the need for effective monitoring to ensure safety. Smartphones, with their array of built-in sensors, offer a practical and affordable solution for…
Alcohol-impaired driving remains a major yet preventable cause of road traffic injury and death, with many drivers underestimating their level of intoxication. Compared to in-vehicle systems, mobile drunk-driving detection using consumer…
The use of mobiles phones when driving have been a major factor when it comes to road traffic incidents and the process of capturing such violations can be a laborious task. Advancements in both modern object detection frameworks and…
In near future, vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as cyclists and pedestrians will be equipped with smart devices and wearables which are capable to communicate with intelligent vehicles and other traffic participants. Road users are then…
Wearable robotic devices have potential to assist and protect their users. Toward design of a Smart Helmet, this article examines the effectiveness of audio and visual warnings to help participants brace for impacts. A user study examines…
Pedestrian classifiers decide which image windows contain a pedestrian. In practice, such classifiers provide a relatively high response at neighbor windows overlapping a pedestrian, while the responses around potential false positives are…
This paper analyzes the distracted pedestrians' waiting time before crossing the road in three conditions: 1) not distracted, 2) distracted with a smartphone and 3) distracted with a smartphone in the presence of virtual flashing LED lights…
Pedestrian detection has significantly progressed in recent years, thanks to the development of DNNs. However, detection performance at occluded scenes is still far from satisfactory, as occlusion increases the intra-class variance of…
Motion sensors (e.g., accelerometers) on smartphones have been demonstrated to be a powerful side channel for attackers to spy on users' inputs on touchscreen. In this paper, we reveal another motion accelerometer-based attack which is…
Respiratory auscultation is crucial for early detection of pediatric pneumonia, a condition that can quickly worsen without timely intervention. In areas with limited physician access, effective auscultation is challenging. We present a…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by irregular electrical impulses originating in the atria, which can lead to severe complications and even death. Due to the intermittent nature of the AF, early and timely monitoring of AF is…
The positioning of users using their smartphones represents interesting service for various areas. Position of users can represent valuable information for various service providers. In industry 4.0 smart devices such as smartphone or…
We present \emph{SmartLoc}, a localization system to estimate the location and the traveling distance by leveraging the lower-power inertial sensors embedded in smartphones as a supplementary to GPS. To minimize the negative impact of…
The widespread use of earphones has enabled various sensing applications, including activity recognition, health monitoring, and context-aware computing. Among these, earphone-based user authentication has become a key technique by…
We propose and implement a novel indoor localization scheme, Swadloon, built upon an accurate acoustic direction finding. Swadloon leverages sensors of the smartphone without the requirement of any specialized devices. The scheme Swadloon…
Object detection is a computer vision task that has become an integral part of many consumer applications today such as surveillance and security systems, mobile text recognition, and diagnosing diseases from MRI/CT scans. Object detection…
Smartphone-based earthquake early warning systems (EEWS) are emerging as a complementary solution to classic EEWS based on expensive scientific-grade instruments. Smartphone-based systems, however, are characterized by a highly dynamic…
It is critical for vehicles to prevent any collisions with pedestrians. Current methods for pedestrian collision prevention focus on integrating visual pedestrian detectors with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems which can trigger…
