物联网、网络物理系统和智能健康领域的研究经常在住宅中使用传感器系统进行连续监控。这种面向研究的住宅监控系统（RRMS）通常面临两大挑战：长期可靠的运行管理和以最少的人力验证系统功能。针对这两个挑战，本文描述了一种具有地面实况验证功能的监控系统监视器，M2G。它由两个子系统组成，Monitor2系统和Ground-truth验证系统。 Monitor2系统封装了一组灵活的通用组件，用于监控异构传感器设备（例如智能手表、智能手机、麦克风、信标等）、本地基站以及云服务器的操作和连接。它提供用户友好的界面，并支持各种环境中不同类型的 RRMS。该系统还具有地面实况验证系统，以支持在现场获取地面实况。此外，还可以向远程管理员和其他人员发送定制警报，以实时报告系统的任何功能障碍或不准确情况。 M2G 应用于三个截然不同的案例研究：监测家庭饮食动态的 M2FED 系统 [1]、监测夜间躁动的家用无线传感系统 [2]，以及监测行为和环境参数以预测健康事件并提供干预措施的 BESI 系统 [3]。结果表明，M2G 是一个综合系统，(i) 只需花费很少的时间和精力即可适应现有的 RRMS，(ii) 通过实时检测故障提供可靠的数据收集并减少数据丢失，(iii) 提供方便且及时的地面实况验证设施。
Research in the area of internet-of-things, cyberphysical-systems, and smart health often employ sensor systems at residences for continuous monitoring. Such research-oriented residential monitoring systems (RRMSs) usually face two major challenges, long-term reliable operation management and validation of system functionality with minimal human effort. Targeting these two challenges, this paper describes a monitor of monitoring systems with ground-truth validation capabilities, M2G. It consists of two subsystems, the Monitor2 system and the Ground-truth validation system. The Monitor2 system encapsulates a flexible set of general-purpose components to monitor the operation and connectivity of heterogeneous sensor devices (e.g. smart watches, smart phones, microphones, beacons, etc.), a local base-station, as well as a cloud server. It provides a user-friendly interface and supports different types of RRMSs in various contexts. The system also features a ground truth validation system to support obtaining ground truth in the field. Additionally, customized alerts can be sent to remote administrators and other personnel to report any dysfunction or inaccuracy of the system in real time. M2G is applied to three very different case studies: the M2FED system which monitors family eating dynamics [1], an in-home wireless sensing system for monitoring nighttime agitation [2], and the BESI system which monitors behavioral and environmental parameters to predict health events and to provide interventions [3]. The results indicate that M2G is a comprehensive system that (i) requires small cost in time and effort to adapt to an existing RRMS, (ii) provides reliable data collection and reduction in data loss by detecting faults in real-time, and (iii) provides a convenient and timely ground truth validation facility.
