Human beings do not have well defined shapes neither well defined behaviors. In dense outdoor environments, they are as a consequence hard to detect and algorithms based on a single sensor tend to produce lot of wrong detections. Moreover, many applications require algorithms that work very fast on CPU limited mobile architectures while remaining able to detect, track and classify objects as people with a very high precision. We present an algorithm based on the contribution of a range finder and a vision based algorithm that addresses these three constraints: efficiency, velocity and robustness and that we believe is scalable to a large variety of applications.

Pervasive computing applications envision sensor rich computing and networking environments that can capture various types of contexts of inhabitants of the environment, such as their locations, activities, vital signs, and environmental measures. Such context information is useful in a variety of applications, for example to manage health information to promote independent living in "aging-in-place" scenarios. In reality, both sensed and interpreted contexts are often ambiguous, leading to potentially dangerous decisions if not properly handled. Thus, a significant challenge facing the development of realistic and deployable context-aware services for pervasive computing applications is the ability to deal with these ambiguous contexts. In this paper, we propose a resource optimized quality assured context mediation framework for resource constrained sensor networks based on efficient context-aware data fusion and information theoretic sensor parameter selection for optimal state estimation. The proposed framework provides a systematic approach based on dynamic Bayesian networks to derive context fragments and deal with context ambiguity or error in a probabilistic manner. Experimental results using SunSPOT sensors demonstrate the promise of this approach.

Reaching consensus on a self-organized wireless sensor networks through totally decentralized algorithms is a topic that has attracted considerable attention. The average consensus method is the most popular algorithm used in this kind of applications. The main advantage of these approaches is that the network does not involve a fusion center to organize nodes. Using a realistic environment to check the behavior of this scheme is the major objective of this work. Moreover, this paper contributes to answer and confirm some results which are approved by theoretical works.
In this paper, we describe a method and system for robust and efficient goal-oriented active control of a machine (e.g., robot) based on processing, hierarchical spatial understanding, representation and memory of mul...

sensor-based smart spaces have been developed to help caring of the elderly. Selection of sensors, layout of smart space, design of fusionalgorithms, and knowledge of domain experts are critical to the development of a useful ICT system for caring the elderly in the institutional facilities. We apply multi-modal sensorfusion technique to improve the confidence level of our system, and leverage the knowledge of domain experts, which is stored in ontology database, to detect the sequence of events that can lead to dangerous situations.

sensor networks have been shown to be useful in diverse applications. One of the important applications is the collaborative detection based on multiple sensors to increase the detection performance. To exploit the spectrum vacancies in cognitive radios, we consider the collaborative spectrum sensing by sensor networks in the likelihood ratio test (LRT) frameworks. In the LRT, the sensors make individual decisions. These individual decisions are then transmitted to the fusion center to make the final decision, which provides better detection accuracy than the individual sensor decisions. We provide the lowered-bounded probability of detection (LBPD) criterion as an alternative criterion to the conventional Neyman-Pearson (NP) criterion. In the LBPD criterion, the detector pursues the minimization of the probability of false alarm while maintaining the probability of detection above the pre-defined value. In cognitive radios, the LBPD criterion limits the probabilities of channel conflicts to the primary users. Under the NP and LBPD criteria, we provide explicit algorithms to solve the LRT fusion rules, the probability of false alarm, and the probability of detection for the fusion center. The fusion rules generated by the algorithms are optimal under the specified criteria. In the spectrum sensing, the fading channels influence the detection accuracies. We investigate the single-sensor detection and collaborative detections of multiple sensors under various fading channels, and derive testing statistics of the LRT with known fading statistics.
