Abstract

This paper presents a multimodal sensor system that can determine the location of house space by analyzing the postures and heights of the residents. It consists of two sensors: a tilt sensor and an altimeter sensor. The tilt sensor measures the static and dynamic postures of the residents, and the altimeter sensor measures their heights. The sensor system includes a Bluetooth transmitter, and the server receives the measured data and determines the location in the house. We describe the process determining the locations of the residents after analyzing their postures and behaviors from the measured data. We also demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed system by applying it to a real environment.

본 논문에서는 기울기 센서와 고도계 센서로 구성된 다중모드 센서를 통하여 일정 공간내의 거주자의 자세 및 행동 패턴을 수집, 분석하여 거주자의 위치를 추론함으로써, 현재 거주자가 위치한 공간을 인지하는 시스템을 제안한다. 여기에서 제안된 센서 시스템의 하드웨어 구성과 소프트웨어 알고리즘에 대하여 설명하고, 다중모드 센서를 통하여 획득한 데이터로부터 거주자의 자세 및 행동을 분석한 후에 거주자가 존재하는 공간을 추론하는 프로세스에 대하여 설명한다. 마지막으로 거주자의 자세 및 행동 분석과 공간인지 기능을 검증하기 위하여 실제 환경 실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템의 효용성과 타당성을 검토한다.
