Automated Monitoring and Localization of People

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The long-term objective of the proposed research program is to develop a system for comprehensive detection of activities as well as physiological assessment of people who need assistance in their natural environments. For example, this includes tracking the daily activities of elderly people, people with dementia, children, inmates, as well as detecting falls of elderly people and sudden life-threatening events such as heart attack. This project will allow for continuous monitoring of a person who lives alone or with other people, or for simultaneous monitoring of several people. The approach taken in this NSERC Discovery research program differs from research based on smart home and recognition of daily activities. Here, a complete solution for tracking and assessment of physiological states of multiple people in realistic environments based only on radio-frequency backscattering signals is proposed.
