报告简介：

Emerging complex smart environments are characterized by the presence of a number of interconnected sensors and devices, forming the so-called Internet of Things. In such environments various activities by human, digital or robotic actors take place. Research on Activity Recognition (AR) has typically followed two complementary directions: data-driven approaches, exploiting machine learning techniques, and knowledge-driven approaches, leveraging logical modelling and reasoning. This talk focuses on the latter category, presenting a rule-based approach for both offline and real-time recognition of so-called Activities of Daily Living (ADL), relying on events produced by a non-intrusive multi-modal sensor infrastructure deployed in a residential environment, as part of the SPHERE project. Novel aspects of the approach include: the ability to recognise arbitrary scenarios of complex activities using bottom-up multi-level reasoning, starting from sensor events at the lowest level; an effective heuristics-based method for distinguishing between actual and ghost images in video data; and a highly accurate indoor localisation approach that fuses different sources of location information. The proposed approach is implemented as a rule-based system using the Jess rule engine and is evaluated using data collected in a smart home environment of the SPHERE project. Experimental results show high levels of accuracy and performance, proving the effectiveness of the approach in real world setups.
