Abstract:
Accurate occupancy information of indoor environments is one of the key prerequisites for many pervasive and context-aware services, e.g. smart building/home systems. Some of the existing occupancy inference systems can achieve impressive accuracy, but they either require labour-intensive calibration phases, or need to install bespoke hardware such as CCTV cameras, which are privacy-intrusive by default. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a practical end-to-end occupancy inference system, which requires minimum user effort, and is able to infer room-level occupancy accurately with commodity WiFi infrastructure. Depending on the needs of different occupancy information subscribers, our system is flexible enough to switch between snapshot estimation mode and continuous inference mode, to trade estimation accuracy for delay and communication cost. We evaluate the system on a hardware testbed deployed in a 600m2 workspace with 25 occupants for 6 weeks. Experimental results show that the proposed system significantly outperforms competing systems in both inference accuracy and robustness. © 2016 IEEE.
