Abstract

Device-Free Localization (DFL) is an effective human localizing system that exploits changes in radio signals strength of radio network. DFL is playing a critical role in many applications such as elderly care, intrusion detection, smart home, etc. DFL is ideal for monitoring the elderly activities without causing any physical discomfort with the wearable devices. It is challenging for elderly to remember each day to wear or to activate those devices. The purpose of this study is to select the best DFL methods in term of detection and tracking accuracy, which is suitable for human monitoring application especially for elderly and disable people. This paper proposes an RSSI-based DFL system that can be used to detect and locate elderly people in an area of interest (AoI) using changes in signal strength measurements. An attenuation-based and variance based methods have been introduced in the proposed DFL system. In stationary people scenario, attenuation-based method managed to accurately detect the presence of human, which is very suitable for elderly care application compared to variance-based DFL. The result shows that attenuation-based method managed to detect all trajectories of moving people with 100% detection accuracy while variance-based method only give 71.74% accuracy.
