Recent works have demonstrated the effectiveness of machine learning (ML) techniques in detecting anxiety and stress using physiological signals, but it is unclear whether ML models are learning physiological features specific to stress. To…
A common challenge in home-based rehabilitation is muscle compensation induced by pain or fatigue, where patients with weakened primary muscles recruit secondary muscle groups to assist their movement, causing issues such as delayed…
This paper addresses a critical preliminary step in radar signal processing: detecting the presence of a radar signal and robustly estimating its bandwidth. Existing methods which are largely statistical feature-based approaches face…
With the increasing use of drones across various industries, the navigation and tracking of these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in challenging environments (such as GNSS-denied environments) have become critical issues. In this paper, we…
This paper proposes an ultra-wideband (UWB) aided localization and mapping system that leverages on inertial sensor and depth camera. Inspired by the fact that visual odometry (VO) system, regardless of its accuracy in the short term, still…
Penetrating detection and recognition of behind wall indoor human activities has drawn great attentions from social security and emergency service department in recent years since intelligent surveillance aforehand could avail the proper…
Mental stress poses a significant public health concern due to its detrimental effects on physical and mental well-being, necessitating the development of continuous stress monitoring tools for wearable devices. Blood volume pulse (BVP)…
We propose a Dynamic Scale Training paradigm (abbreviated as DST) to mitigate scale variation challenge in object detection. Previous strategies like image pyramid, multi-scale training, and their variants are aiming at preparing…
Non-contact vital sign detection is a required application nowadays in many fields as patient monitoring and static human detection. Within the last decade, radar has been introduced as a smart and convenient sensor for non-contact…
Multi-object tracking (MOT) is the problem of tracking the state of an unknown and time-varying number of objects using noisy measurements, with important applications such as autonomous driving, tracking animal behavior, defense systems,…
Rodents have long been established as the premier model for behavioral studies, traditionally raised and maintained in conventional cage environments. However, these settings often limit rodents' ability to exhibit their full range of…
This work develops a smart mat for monitoring body positions. We use Velostat as a force sensor resistance (FSR) to construct a sensor matrix over the mat to receive the pressure distribution of the patient's body, and then upload the…
Vital sign monitoring plays a critical role in tracking the physiological state of people and enabling various health-related applications (e.g., recommending a change of lifestyle, examining the risk of diseases). Traditional approaches…
The ever-increasing sensor service, though opening a precious path and providing a deluge of earth system data for deep-learning-oriented earth science, sadly introduce a daunting obstacle to their industrial level deployment. Concretely,…
Identifying the onset of emotional stress in older patients with mood disorders and chronic pain is crucial in mental health studies. To this end, studying the associations between passively sensed variables that measure human behaviors and…
Stress is a dynamic process that reflects the responses of the brain. Traditional methods for measuring stress are often time-consuming and susceptible to recall bias. To address this, we investigated changes in heart rate (HR) during the…
In wearable smart systems, continuous monitoring and accurate classification of different sleep-related conditions are critical for enhancing sleep quality and preventing sleep-related chronic conditions. However, the requirements for…
Blood Pressure (BP) is one of the four primary vital signs indicating the status of the body's vital (life-sustaining) functions. BP is difficult to continuously monitor using a sphygmomanometer (i.e. a blood pressure cuff), especially in…
Large-scale transmission radiography scanners are used to image vehicles and cargo containers. Acquired images are inspected for threats by a human operator or a computer algorithm. To make accurate detections, it is important that image…
Sharpened dimensionality reduction (SDR), which belongs to the class of multidimensional projection techniques, has recently been introduced to tackle the challenges in the exploratory and visual analysis of high-dimensional data. SDR has…
