Adaptive context-agnostic floor transition detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a technique for detecting floor changes in an indoor environment and improving pedestrian indoor localization and navigation. Our technique relies on barometric pressure sensors commonly available on smartphones and tablets. We developed an algorithm running on smart mobile devices that can be integrated in any indoor localization system to improve accuracy and support 3D navigation. The main novelty of our technique is that it can work in any type of environment, without any prior knowledge of the building layout, it does not require calibration and it is adaptive. Experimental results show that our method can accurately detect floor changes in any condition without requiring any additional work. Keywords-3D localization; barometric pressure

Optimally-Smooth Adaptive Boosting and Application to Agnostic Learning
We describe a new boosting algorithm that is the first such algorithm to be both smooth and adaptive. These two features make possible performance improvements for many learning tasks whose solutions use a boosting technique. The boosting approach was originally suggested for the standard PAC model; we analyze possible applications of boosting in the context of agnostic learning, which is more ...
متن کاملNew Fast Fall Detection Method Based on Spatio-Temporal Context Tracking of Head by Using Depth Images
In order to deal with the problem of projection occurring in fall detection with two-dimensional (2D) grey or color images, this paper proposed a robust fall detection method based on spatio-temporal context tracking over three-dimensional (3D) depth images that are captured by the Kinect sensor. In the pre-processing procedure, the parameters of the Single-Gauss-Model (SGM) are estimated and t...
متن کاملAn Enterprise Dynamic Thresholding System
We demonstrate an enterprise Dynamic Thresholding System for data-agnostic management of monitoring flows. The dynamic thresholding based on data historical behavior enables adaptive and more accurate control of business environments compared to static thresholding. We manifest the main blocks of a complex analytical engine that is implemented in VMware vCenter Operations Manager as a principal...
متن کاملVideo shot boundary detection using motion activity descriptor
This paper focus on the study of the motion activity descriptor for shot boundary detection in video sequences. We interest in the validation of this descriptor in the aim of its real time implementation with reasonable high performances in shot boundary detection. The motion activity information is extracted in uncompressed domain based on adaptive rood pattern search (ARPS) algorithm. In this...
متن کاملAwareness and Control in Adaptable Transition Systems
The CoDa approach. Self-adaptive systems are advocated as a solution to the problem of mastering the complexity of modern software systems and the continuous evolution of the environment where they operate. Self-adaptation is considered a fundamental feature of autonomic systems, one that can specialise to several other self-* properties, like self-configuration and self-optimisation. Should th...
