The ability to generate artificial human movement patterns while meeting location and time constraints is an important problem in the security community, particularly as it enables the study of the analog problem of detecting such patterns…

One of the hardest challenges to face in the development of a non GPS-based localization system for autonomous vehicles is the changes of the environment. LiDAR-based systems typically try to match the last measurements obtained with a…

Covariance localization is a critical component of ensemble-based data assimilation (DA) and many current localization schemes simply dampen correlations as a function of distance. Increases in computational resources, broadening scope of…

Gait data captured by inertial sensors have demonstrated promising results on user authentication. However, most existing approaches stored the enrolled gait pattern insecurely for matching with the validating pattern, thus, posed critical…

Both assistant driving and self-driving have attracted a great amount of attention in the last few years. However, the majority of research efforts focus on safe driving; few research has been conducted on in-vehicle climate control, or…

Heterogeneity characterises real-world networks, where nodes show a broad range of different topological features. However, nodes also tend to organise into communities -- subsets of nodes that are sparsely inter-connected but are densely…

Fingerprinting-based indoor localization methods typically require labor-intensive site surveys to collect signal measurements at known reference locations and frequent recalibration, which limits their scalability. This paper addresses…

This work introduces PAS -- Privacy Anchor Substitution, a structured mechanism for enabling user location privacy in spatial retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. Unlike conventional differential privacy methods that directly…

We present a new algorithm for inferring the home location of Twitter users at different granularities, including city, state, time zone or geographic region, using the content of users tweets and their tweeting behavior. Unlike existing…

Wandering is a problematic behavior in people with dementia that can lead to dangerous situations. To alleviate this problem we design an approach for the real-time automatic detection of wandering leading to getting lost. The approach…

In this article, we present the limitations of traditional localization techniques, such as those using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and life detectors, in localizing victims during disaster rescue efforts. These techniques usually fall…

Tracking locations is practical and speditive with smartphones, as they are omnipresent devices, relatively cheap, and have the necessary sensors for positioning and networking integrated in the same box. Nowadays recent models have GNSS…

Analyzing individual human trajectory data helps our understanding of human mobility and finds many commercial and academic applications. There are two main approaches to accessing trajectory data for research: one involves using real-world…

In urban areas, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals are often reflected or blocked by buildings, thus resulting in large positioning errors. In this study, we proposed a machine learning approach for global positioning system…

Although many successful ensemble clustering approaches have been developed in recent years, there are still two limitations to most of the existing approaches. First, they mostly overlook the issue of uncertain links, which may mislead the…

We introduce a new dynamic model with the capability of recognizing both activities that an individual is performing as well as where that ndividual is located. Our model is novel in that it utilizes a dynamic graphical model to jointly…

Adding location to the available information enables a new category of applications. With the constrained battery on cell phones, energy-efficient localization becomes an important challenge. In this paper we introduce a low-energy…

Location data collection has become widespread with smart phones becoming ubiquitous. Smart phone apps often collect precise location data from users by offering \textit{free} services and then monetize it for advertising and marketing…

This paper presents a novel system for reconstructing high-resolution GPS trajectory data from truncated or synthetic low-resolution inputs, addressing the critical challenge of balancing data utility with privacy preservation in mobility…

Location-aware applications play an increasingly critical role in everyday life. However, satellite-based localization (e.g., GPS) has limited accuracy and can be unusable in dense urban areas and indoors. We introduce an image-based global…
