Monitoring of residences and businesses can be effectively performed using machine learning algorithms. As sensors and devices used for monitoring become more complex, having humans process the information to detect intrusions would be expensive and difficult to scale. We propose an automated home/business monitoring system which resides on edge servers performing online learning on streaming data...
Nowadays, providing a security system for houses has become a vital research in which the latest technologies are being adopted to serve this purpose. Wireless network is one of the technologies that have been used to provide remote monitor and control for the home appliances. This paper aims to propose a security door lock system based on Raspberry pi technology where cameras, keypad and pi-lids...
Recently, as elderly people population grows, the burdens on caretakers are getting larger. In daycare centers, caretakers make a daycare report aiming to improve the senior citizen's Quality of Life. However, in the present situation, it is difficult for caretakers to record the senior citizen's activity in detail, since each caretaker needs to take care of several senior citizens at the same time...
Family security is one of the key goals of a digital home system. At present, webcams are widely used in home remote monitoring systems. This is due to the fact that its passive monitoring nature leaves a potential security problem and cannot be used for providing proactive security. To solve this problem, this paper proposes the design of a remote embedded intelligent security monitoring system based...
Data centers are extremely important facilities that contain core business information and applications, but the energy consumption is an inevitable issue, so the thermal distribution monitoring is critical for data centers reliable and stable operation. Thermal information enables monitoring and autonomic thermal management in large data centers. Recent approaches that employed a mobile robot or...
Technology has entered into the age of smart systems, when machines implement traditionally human functions of analyzing real-world data and making decisions. Developing such systems however is not trivial and deals with several challenges. In this paper we share our experience of building smart systems, such as user-aware computer display, viewer-conscious TV set, smart door, smart carpet, smart...
Background: According to several recent research results [1]-[4], obesity can increase the risk of many diseases such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, etc. To prevent and treat the obesity efficiently and effectively, diet monitoring is an important factor. Purpose: Manual self-monitoring techniques for diet suffer from drawbacks such as low adherence,...
The working of the GPS requires a clear line of sight for accurate services. However this is a drawback when the vehicle is stuck in a long tunnel or a place where the GPS data is unavailable. In this paper we propose the TLST: Time of Arrival Based Localization and Smart Tunnels in VANETs. The paper focuses on the time of arrival and time difference of arrival based localization in the vehicular...
This paper presents the architecture of an extended area monitoring system based on crowdsourcing and mobile devices. In particular areas (as very large historical sites) it can be difficult or impossible to install fixed cameras due to the huge number of candidate points of interest (POI) to monitoring or to the significant impact on site (i.e. cameras or other sensors could be too invasive towards...
This paper summarizes the steps that were followed in the creation of a dynamic webpage for publishing, in real time, the data from the Environmental Noise Monitoring station installed at the Association for the Development of Industrial Aerodynamics (ADAI), at the University of Coimbra. The webpage has been used as part of a remote laboratory activity in a distance learning course about indoor environment...
This paper proposes a smart, easy-deployed remote monitor system based on Android system. Different from normal monitor system, what you need to deploy the monitor system are only a camera, a PC with Linux system and an Android smart phone, which is commonly held by people. The system is based on the open-source library live555, FFmpeg and x264, thus it is readily extendable. In this system, the video...
Caregiving a person suffering from dementia or loss of brain cognitive ability due to aging is a big physical, mental and emotional burden to family members. In this paper we present a novel system for assisting caregivers at home. The system employs heterogeneous sensing and artificial intelligence technologies to automatically and unobtrusively monitor the patient; assess possible risks that the...
Traffic monitoring is a challenging task on crowded roads. Traditional traffic monitoring procedures are manual, expensive, time consuming and involve human operators. They are subjective due to the very involvement of human factor and sometimes provide inaccurate/incomplete monitoring results. Large scale storage and analysis of video streams were not possible due to limited availability of storage...
In this paper is presented a solution that aims to solve by new technologies, the security issues of railway infrastructure and security perimeters and adjacent rail traffic. Aim pursued to achieve this technical solution for monitoring has two components: securing railway traffic by preventing accidents involving fatalities or major property damage and preventing and combating anti-social acts affecting...
Cloud-based video monitoring system has many advantages and interesting applications. However, it has a critical problem of invading privacy. For example, if cloud servers or transmission channels are attacked, their private data can be leaked to the attackers. If we use well-known encryption schemes such as AES or DES, the security lifetime will increase but it requires additional computational operations...
With the rapid development of mobile devices and internet services, managing home security with these devices and services is gaining popularity. To expand the range of usability of conventional home surveillance cameras, we propose the UPnP-based Surveillance Camera System (USCS), which employs UPnP technology to search, control, and manage IP-based cameras. With UPnP, interconnected equipment and...
Owners of industries traveling around the world need some system from where they can monitor and keep control of their industry remotely. Speedily advancing software technologies have made it possible to develop a new generation of Supervisory Control and Data-Acquisition (SCADA) system. This generation of SCADA is known as PROPOSED SCADA SYSTEMS. This paper present a concept of how industrial and...
Today, Smart Home monitoring services have attracted much attention from both academia and industry. However, in the conventional monitoring mechanism the remote camera can not be accessed for remote monitoring anywhere and anytime. Besides, traditional approaches might have the limitation in local storage due to lack of device elasticity. In this paper, we proposed a Cloud-based monitoring framework...
The rapid advancement of mobile communication technologies offers innumerable opportunities for development of video monitoring system in mobile devices. This article introduces and implements the two-way monitoring system based on Java Media Framework (JMF) and Android. The system is developed based on Java, which includes the design for server in personal computer (PC) and client in Android-based...
The scale of the camera networks in surveillance systems has been largely expanded. However, conventional visualization methods display each camera video on an individual screen. In this way, it is difficult to effectively monitor the regions covered by all of the cameras, especially when tracking a moving target crossing different camera views. In this paper, we propose a novel visualization framework...
