Presence Detection from Smart Home Motion Sensor Datasets: A Model

Effective physical presence detection in Smart Homes (SH) can be very useful for supporting ageing in place and Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions. It can contribute to ensuring peace of mind and sense of comfort for patients, their families and their carers as well as enhancing their overall physical security. Motion sensor data acquired from SH contain rich, contextual information that can be used to infer single- and multi-user presences. When combined and analysed with other information such as time of day, (expected) total number of occupants and location of any additional presence, among others, decisions can be made about whether the presences detected are legitimate or intrusive.
