Automated Monitoring and Localization of People

拟议的研究计划的长期目标是开发一个系统，以全面检测活动，并对在自然环境中需要援助的人进行生理评估。例如，这包括跟踪老年人、痴呆症患者、儿童、囚犯的日常活动，以及检测老年人跌倒和心脏病发作等突发威胁生命的事件。该项目将允许对独居或与其他人一起生活的人进行持续监控，或同时监控几个人。NSERC发现研究项目采用的方法不同于基于智能家居和日常活动识别的研究。本文提出了一种基于射频后向散射信号的真实环境中多人生理状态跟踪和评估的完整解决方案。

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.
