FindingHuMo : Real-Time User Tracking in Smart Environments with Anonymous Binary Sensing

We will demo FindingHuMo (Finding Human Motion), a real-time user tracking system for Smart Environments. FindingHuMo can perform device-free tracking of multiple (unknown and variable number of) users in the Hallway Environments, just from non-invasive and anonymous (not user specific) binary motion sensor data stream. It can solve complex challenges in multi-user tracking where user motion trajectories may crossover with each other in all different ways. We will demo the evaluation of tracking performance by feeding sensor data from our designed Smart Environment Simulator to FindingHuMo and then comparing the tracking output with ground truth. We will also demo live user tracking of a smart workplace environment.
