Massive and unobtrusive screening of people in public environments is becoming a critical task to guarantee safety in congested shared spaces, as well as to support early non-invasive diagnosis and response to disease outbreaks. Among…
Recognition of daily activities is a critical element for effective Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems, particularly to monitor the well-being and support the independence of older adults in indoor environments. However, developing…
Measures of Activity of Daily Living (ADL) are an important indicator of overall health but difficult to measure in-clinic. Automated and accurate human activity recognition (HAR) using wrist-worn accelerometers enables practical and cost…
Non-invasive temperature monitoring of individuals plays a crucial role in identifying and isolating symptomatic individuals. Temperature monitoring becomes particularly vital in settings characterized by close human proximity, often…
In-home elderly monitoring requires systems that can detect emergency events - such as falls or prolonged inactivity - while preserving privacy and requiring no user input. These systems must be embedded into the surrounding environment,…
The detection of the environment where user is located, is of extreme use for the identification of Activities of Daily Living (ADL). ADL can be identified by use of the sensors available in many off-the-shelf mobile devices, including…
We present results from a set of experiments in this pilot study to investigate the causal influence of user activity on various environmental parameters monitored by occupant carried multi-purpose sensors. Hypotheses with respect to each…
The thermal inertia of buildings brings considerable flexibility to the heating and cooling load, which is known to be a promising demand response resource. The aggregate model that can describe the thermal dynamics of the building cluster…
Indoor tracking has all-pervasive applications beyond mere surveillance, for example in education, health monitoring, marketing, energy management and so on. Image and video based tracking systems are intrusive. Thermal array sensors on the…
We present a novel dataset and a novel algorithm for recognizing activities of daily living (ADL) from a first-person wearable camera. Handled objects are crucially important for egocentric ADL recognition. For specific examination of…
Recent research is trying to leverage occupants' demand in the building's control loop to consider individuals' well-being and the buildings' energy savings. To that end, a real-time feedback system is needed to provide data about…
Recognizing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) has a large number of health applications, such as characterize lifestyle for habit improvement, nursing and rehabilitation services. Wearable cameras can daily gather large amounts of image…
