Paper Abstract:
|
A footstep-based identification system is proposed in this article. The usage of average acceleration sensors on existing nodes for wireless sensor networks is all that is required, allowing for an easy implementation, without resorting to hardware development. Furthermore, wireless sensor networks permit that this application can take advantage of several techniques such as redundancy, scalability, matching, etc. to increase its robustness. The approach we follow in this paper is based on the strength of the steps and the time between steps for detecting people by their footsteps. The system goes through a learning phase, where patterns for different users can be recorded. With this information, during regular operation the system tries to infer if the subject is one of the known users or an intruder. |
