Abstract

Localisation-capable technologies are becoming more readily available as off-the-shelf components. In this paper, we highlight the need for such a service in the field of health and autonomy, especially for disabled people. We then explore this idea through a study that leverages this localisation functionality.

We introduce a model for Semantic Position Description (SPD) (“The pill organiser in on the kitchen table”) as well as various algorithms that transform raw distance estimations to SPD related to proximity, alignment and room identification.

Two measurement campaigns have been conducted. The first one focused on algorithm performance and exploited the LocURa4IoT testbed. The second confronted the system's output (SPDs) to real user perception in a smart-home environment. This experiment involved ten human participants in the Maison Intelligente de Blagnac. The results indicate that both processes (human and machine perception) converge 90% of the time. This convergence confirms the relevance of our locaisation-based approach and encourages future explorations of its application to various domains.

理想:直观地定位连接设备，以支持自治

能够本地化的技术越来越容易作为现成的组件提供。在这篇论文中，我们强调了在健康和自主领域，特别是为残疾人提供这种服务的必要性。然后，我们通过利用这种本地化功能的研究来探索这个想法。我们介绍了语义位置描述（SPD）（“厨房桌子上的药丸组织者”）的模型，以及将原始距离估计转换为与邻近度、对齐和房间识别相关的SPD的各种算法。已经开展了两次测量活动。第一个重点关注算法性能，并利用了LocURa4IoT测试平台。第二个问题是在智能家居环境中，将系统的输出（SPD）与真实的用户感知进行对抗。这项实验涉及布拉尼亚克智能之家的十名人类参与者。结果表明，这两个过程（人类和机器感知）在90%的时间内收敛。这种融合证实了我们基于本地化的方法的相关性，并鼓励未来探索其在各个领域的应用。

期刊介绍： IRBM is the journal of the AGBM (Alliance for engineering in Biology an Medicine / Alliance pour le génie biologique et médical) and the SFGBM (BioMedical Engineering French Society / Société française de génie biologique médical) and the AFIB (French Association of Biomedical Engineers / Association française des ingénieurs biomédicaux). As a vehicle of information and knowledge in the field of biomedical technologies, IRBM is devoted to fundamental as well as clinical research. Biomedical engineering and use of new technologies are the cornerstones of IRBM, providing authors and users with the latest information. Its six issues per year propose reviews (state-of-the-art and current knowledge), original articles directed at fundamental research and articles focusing on biomedical engineering. All articles are submitted to peer reviewers acting as guarantors for IRBM''s scientific and medical content. The field covered by IRBM includes all the discipline of Biomedical engineering. Thereby, the type of papers published include those that cover the technological and methodological development in: -Physiological and Biological Signal processing (EEG, MEG, ECG…)- Medical Image processing- Biomechanics- Biomaterials- Medical Physics- Biophysics- Physiological and Biological Sensors- Information technologies in healthcare- Disability research- Computational physiology- …
