Title:
Context-awareness through Sensor-less Sensing for Wireless Environments
Abstract:
The proliferation of RF networks coupled with the diverse and growing set of mobile devices, opened the doors for a new class of context awareness through contact-free ambient sensing. Since our initial challenges paper in 2007, the field of device-free passive sensing has witnessed an exponential growth; covering areas such as intrusion detection, mobile healthcare, whole-home gesture recognition, traffic estimation, border protection, among others.
In this talk, we give a holistic overview of the area of contact-free ambient sensing based on RF technology, highlighting how it evolved over a decade from binary-detection in controlled environments to commercial systems for border protection and smart homes.
We also give insights about the current trends and possible future research challenges.
