Abstract
In the context of smart buildings and smart cities, the design of low-cost and privacy-aware solutions for recognizing the presence of humans and their activities is becoming of great interest. Existing solutions exploiting wearables and video-based systems have several drawbacks, such as high cost, low usability, poor portability, and privacy-related issues. Consequently, more ubiquitous and accessible solutions, such as WiFi sensing, became the focus of attention. However, at the current state-of-the-art, WiFi sensing is subject to low accuracy and poor generalization, primarily affected by environmental factors, such as humidity and temperature variations, and furniture position changes. Such is-sues are partially solved at the cost of complex data preprocessing pipelines. In this paper, we present a highly accurate, resource-efficient deep learning-based occupancy detection solution, which is resilient to variations in humidity and temperature. The approach is tested on an extensive benchmark, where people are free to move and the furniture layout does change. In addition, based on a consolidated algorithm of explainable AI, we quantify the importance of the WiFi signal w.r.t. humidity and temperature for the proposed approach. Notably, humidity and temperature can indeed be predicted based on WiFi signals; this promotes the expressivity of the WiFi signal and at the same time the need for a non-linear model to properly deal with it.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
