Sensing context
• Sensors are needed to infer the user’s context
• « Software sensors »
– SMS on mobile phones: e.g. used to infer friend network
– Email reception: e.g. work / home presence
– Calendar: e.g. location, work activities
– …
• Hardware sensors
– (the typical definition of sensors in EE )
– Accelerometers: e.g. gesture recognition
– RFID tags: e.g. object detection
– Reed switch e.g. door/window open/closed
– GPS: e.g. outdoor location
– WIFI fingerprints: e.g. indoor location
– …

There is no « Drink Sensor » 
• Simple sensors (e.g. RFID) can provide a "binary" information
– Presence (e.g. RFID, Proximity infrared sensors)
– Movement (e.g. ADXL345 accelerometer ‘activity/inactivity pin’)
– Fall (e.g. ADXL345 accelerometer ‘freefall pin’)
• But in general « activity-X sensor » does not exist
– Sensor data must be interpreted
– Multiple sensors must be correlated (data fusion)
– Several factors influence the sensor data
• Drinking while standing: the arm reaches the object then the mouth
• Drinking while walking: the arm moves, and also the whole body
• Context is inferring from the sensor data with
– Signal processing
– Machine learning
– Reasoning
• Can be integrated into a « sensor node » or « smart sensor »
– Sensor chip + data processing in a device

Accelerometer
• The most common sensor in activity recognition
• Used in mobile phones to rotate screen
• Nintendoo Wii
• Highly miniaturized with MEMS technology

- Urban canyons, indoor - Wireless map
- Occlusion, privacy
- Environment instrumentation
- Instrumentation, short range
Ideally, for wearable computing:
• Indoor and outdoor use
• No instrumented environment
• No a-priori knowledge / map
• Anytime, anywhere
• Low-power
• Small
Satellite-systems
GPS

GPS revisited
• Simultaneous measurement of time-of
flight (phase) from 4 satellites
• Weak signal: -160dBW, 1575MHz L1
• For outdoors....
• ... but some indoor capability [1]
• Uses lots of energy
[1] Kjærgaard et al., Indoor Positioning Using GPS Revisited, Pervasive, 2010
[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNSS_positioning_calculation
[1]
[2]

Radio fingerprints
• Radio fingerprint quite unique for any location:
– Visible radios (Wifi MAC address, GSM towers)
– Signal strength
• APIs for absolute localization from radio fingerprints:
– http://www.opencellid.org/ (cellphone towers)
– Google geolocation API
• In principle not limited to radio:
– information also in sound, visual patterns, etc...

Dead reckoning
• Historically used by sailors: speed estimation and compass
• With wearable sensors [1]:
– Compass to estimate heading
– Count steps (pedometer, accelerometer); integrate acceleration over single steps
[1] Randell, Djiallis, Muller, Personal Position Measurement Using Dead Reckoning, ISWC, 2003
• Quite accurate (~10%) with a correct motion model
– (e.g. compass must be parallel to ground)
• Integration of errors lead to "closing-the-loop" problem
– Identify already visited points with additional sensors and "close the loop"
– Multiple sensors and Kalman filter

Dead reckoning with vision (optical flow)
Forward motion Rotation Side step
• Typical motion pattern result in characteristic optical flows
Dead-reckoning from optical flow:
1. Compute optical flow
2. Derive corresponding camera movement (egomotion)
3. Integrate egomotion in a map
[1] Roggen et al, Mapping by seeing: wearable vision-based dead-reckoning, and closing the loop, EuroSSC 2007
Slow Fast

• Straight walk: 5.5m
• Estimated distance: 5.17m
• Relative error: 6% Speed profile
Path integration (outdoor)
• Square walk (10m sides)
• Distance: 38.8m
• Estimated distance: 43.4m
• Relative error: 12%
• Challenge: high rotation speeds (30°/s-90°/s)
• h=145cm, α=48°
• Chest-placed camera
Footsteps

Closing the loop
• Errors accumulate during path integration
• Coinciding start-end point of trajectory do not map on
same location
A-posteriori correction of motion vectors
1. Recognize identical locations A, B
2. Correct motion vectors so A matches B
→ Idea: closing the loop
Ωcl=f(Ω)Ω
• 6-12% distance error
• Underestimation of rotation
– Note: camera only! With a gyro can be improved

Estimating proximity from passive fingerprints: sound
• Proximity information is important for many applications!
[1] Wirz et al., A wearable, ambient sound-based approach for infrastructureless fuzzy proximity estimation, ISWC 2010

Estimating proximity from passive fingerprints: Wifi
[1] Cugia, Wirz, ETH Tech Rep, 2011
• Devices A, B scan Wifi (MAC addresses)
• Compute fingerprint similarity
– E.g. Jaccard index: normalized number
MAC address seen by both A and B
Sensor number Hears WIFI signals
S0 W2 W6 W7
S1 W1 W3 W4 W5
S2 W2 W3 W4 W5 W6 W7
S3 W0 W1 W2 W3 W4 W5
S4 W0 W1 W2 W3 W4 W5

From proximity to topology
• Proximity can be used to find node topology
– Binary case: "sense"/"not sense" (e.g. communication in/out-of range)
– Or distance estimate
• Convert proximity to topology
– Multidimensional scaling [1,2]
• "Anchor nodes" (e.g. with GPS) can "ground" the topology

[2] Chan&So, Efficient Weighted Multidimensional Scaling for Wireless Sensor Network Localization, IEEE Tr Sig Proc, 57(11), 2009

Active capacitive sensing [1,2]
• Challenge: sensing inner body function
– E.g. drinking, heart rate, respiration, etc.
• Principle:
– Capacitor with human body as dielectric
– Body function affect dielectric: muscle contractions, joint motions, air
entering the lungs, drinking
– Readout using a Colpitts (LC) oscillator
– Suitable for textile integration!

Video on the emotional computer

Sensing intense fear (startle event)
• Skin conductance: Galvanic Skin Response = Electrodermal Activity
– Affected by « internal states »: emotions, phobias, arousal, stress
• Controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) [1]
– Low frequency « tonic » part (0-0.05 Hz)
– Fast changing phasic component (0.05 Hz-1.5 Hz)
• Quickly reacts to the « fight or flight » reflex (e.g. fear / startle event)

Sensing cognitive states from eye movements
[1] Hayhoe, Ballard Eye movements in natural behavior, TRENDS in Cognitive Sciences Vol.9 No.4 April 2005
[2] Heisz, Shore, More efficient scanning for familiar faces, Journal of Vision (2008) 8(1):9, 1–10
[1]
[1]
Familiar v.s. unfamiliar faces [2]
Gaze patterns are consciously and unconsciously
controlled. Can eye movements reveal something
about cognitive states?
• "Eventually, analyzing the link between unconscious eye movements and cognition
might even pave the way for a new genre of pervasive computing systems that can
sense and adapt to a person’s cognitive context. [....] A computing system is
cognition-aware if it can sense and adapt to a person’s cognitive context." [3]

Sensing cognitive states from eye movements [1]
Applications:
• Memory assistants
• Smart computer interfaces
• Significant change in fixation count
• Ongoing: classify in "seen" / "unseen"
• Challenge: outside of the lab!
• Cognition: Memory, Stress, Reasoning, ...
• Can a computer detect whether a picture has already been seen before?
