Sensor Fusion in Human Activity Recognition and Occupancy Detection Sensor Fusion in Human Activity Recognition and Occupancy Detection Sensorfusion in der menschlichen Aktivit¨ats- erkennung und Pr¨asenzdetektion Der Technischen Fakult¨at der Friedrich-Alexander-Universit¨at Erlangen-N¨urnberg zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades Dr.-Ing. vorgelegt von Lars Zimmermann aus Freudenberg Als Dissertation genehmigt von der Technischen Fakult¨at der Friedrich-Alexander-Universit¨atErlangen-N¨urnberg Tag der m¨undlichen Pr¨ufung:5. M¨arz2020 Vorsitzender des Promotionsorgans: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Andreas Paul Fr¨oba Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Georg Fischer Prof. Dr. sc. techn. Leonhard Reindl Abstract This thesis investigates the recognition of human activities from the position of the wrist and the feasibility of occupancy detection based on environmen- tal sensors. In preparation to this thesis, a wrist-worn 10-axis human activity tracker combining a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis mag- netometer, and a barometric pressure sensor was developed. Four volunteers participated in collecting a first dataset of 190 measurements by perform- ing ten everyday activities. An approach is introduced by which a person's energy expenditure can be estimated independently of the measurement po- sition. Using the acceleration data obtained at the wrist, various methods for detecting cycling are presented. It is also shown that the barometer allows discriminating activities that involve a vertical displacement, such as climb- ing stairs or riding an elevator, as well as helps to reduce the false alarm rate of a fall detector. The potential of magnetic field sensing is derived from the signal characteristics of the magnetic interference as experienced during cycling and riding an elevator. It is demonstrated that the examined activity set can be discriminated by fusing the data of either the accelerometer and the barometer or the gyroscope and the barometer. To detect and count occupants, an approach using a fusion of environ- mental sensors from an indoor air quality measurement system is presented. Environmental sensors, as opposed to motion detectors, are nonintrusive, easy to install, low cost, detect nonmoving occupants, do not have dead spots, and can even infer the number of occupants. For this study, measure- ments of carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, air temperature, and relative air humidity were conducted in four student apartments for a total of 49 days. Features were extracted from the environmental sensor data and subsets selected using correlation-based feature selection. In this thesis, a comparison of the supervised learning models RIPPER, Na¨ıve Bayes, C4.5 decision tree, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbours, and random forest is performed. Furthermore, a method is proposed to greatly reduce time and effort of collecting training data in residential buildings. The results indicate that the predictive power of volatile organic compound sensing is comparable to that of carbon dioxide. With a simple Na¨ıve Bayes classifier, the approach detected occupancy and estimated the number of occupants with an accu- racy of 81.1 % and 64.7 %, respectively. In addition, a gas sensor test setup was developed that is capable of characterizing carbon dioxide and volatile organic compound sensors simultaneously. Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit untersucht die Erkennung menschlicher Aktivit¨atenausgehend von der Position des Handgelenks sowie die Machbarkeit einer Pr¨asenzdetek- tion basierend auf Umweltsensoren. Als Grundlage diente ein 10-Achsen Ak- tivit¨atstracker bestehend aus einem 3-Achsen Beschleunigungssensor, einem 3-Achsen Gyroskop, einem 3-Achsen Magnetometer, und einem baromet- rischen Drucksensor. Vier Freiwillige haben sich durch Ausf¨uhrungzehn allt¨aglicher Aktivit¨atenan der Aufzeichnung eines ersten Datensatzes mit 190 Messungen beteiligt. Zur Sch¨atzung des Energieaufwands einer Per- son wird ein Ansatz vorgestellt, der auf eine beliebige Messposition an- wendbar ist. Unter Nutzung der am Handgelenk gewonnenen Beschleu- nigungsdaten werden verschiedene Methoden zur Erkennung von Fahrrad- fahren pr¨asentiert. Außerdem wird gezeigt, dass das Barometer die Unter- scheidung von Aktivit¨atenwie Treppensteigen oder Aufzugfahren erm¨oglicht sowie die Fehlalarmrate einer Sturzerkennung reduzieren kann. Das Potenzial der Magnetfeldmessung wird aus den Signalcharakteristika der magnetischen St¨orfelder,wie sie bei Fahrrad- oder Aufzugfahren auftreten, abgeleitet. Es wird demonstriert, dass die hier untersuchten Aktivit¨atenmittels einer Fu- sion aus entweder dem Beschleunigungssensor und dem Barometer oder dem Gyroskop und dem Barometer unterschieden werden k¨onnen. Zur Detektion und Bestimmung der Personenanzahl im Raum wird ein Ansatz basierend auf der Fusion von Umweltsensoren eines Raumluftquali- t¨atsmesssystemspr¨asentiert. Im Gegensatz zu Bewegungsmeldern sind Um- weltsensoren unaufdringlich, leicht zu installieren, kosteng¨unstig,erkennen ruhende Personen, weisen keine Abdeckungsl¨ucken auf, und erlauben Schluss- folgerungen auf die Personenanzahl. F¨urdiese Untersuchung wurden in vier Studentenapartments Messungen ¨uber den Gehalt an Kohlendioxid, fl¨uchti- gen organischen Verbindungen, der Lufttemperatur, und der relativen Luft- feuchte mit einer Gesamtdauer von 49 Tagen durchgef¨uhrt. In dieser Arbeit werden die Algorithmen RIPPER, Naiver Bayes, C4.5 Entscheidungsbaum, Logistische Regression, N¨achste-k-Nachbarn, und Random Forest verglichen. Weiterhin wird eine Methode vorgeschlagen, die den Aufwand an Trainings- daten in Wohngeb¨auden deutlich reduziert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Sen- soren f¨urfl¨uchtige organische Verbindungen eine vergleichbare Prognosef¨a- higkeit wie Kohlendioxidsensoren aufweisen. Mit einem Naiver Bayes Klassi- fikator wurde eine Genauigkeit von 81,1 % bei der Pr¨asenzund von 64,7 % bei der Personenanzahl erzielt. Ferner wurde ein Pr¨ufaufbauentwickelt, mit dem verschiedenartige Gassensoren gleichzeitig charakterisiert werden k¨onnen.

The descent probe is a carry-on small spacecraft (< 100 kg), to be deployed by the mother spacecraft, that brings itself onto a collisional trajectory with the targeted planetary body in a simple manner. A possible science payload includes instruments for surface imaging, characterisation of the neutral exosphere, and magnetic field and plasma measurement near the target body down to very low-altitudes (~1 km), during the probe’s fast (~km/s) descent to the surface until impact. The science goals and the concept of operation are discussed with particular reference to Europa, including options for flying through water plumes and after-impact retrieval of very-low altitude science data.

  • Juno Spacecraft Description
    Juno Spacecraft Description By Bill Kurth 2012-06-01 Juno Spacecraft (ID=JNO) Description The majority of the text in this file was extracted from the Juno Mission Plan Document, S. Stephens, 29 March 2012. [JPL D-35556] Overview For most Juno experiments, data were collected by instruments on the spacecraft then relayed via the orbiter telemetry system to stations of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN). Radio Science required the DSN for its data acquisition on the ground. The following sections provide an overview, first of the orbiter, then the science instruments, and finally the DSN ground system. Juno launched on 5 August 2011. The spacecraft uses a deltaV-EGA trajectory consisting of a two-part deep space maneuver on 30 August and 14 September 2012 followed by an Earth gravity assist on 9 October 2013 at an altitude of 559 km. Jupiter arrival is on 5 July 2016 using two 53.5-day capture orbits prior to commencing operations for a 1.3-(Earth) year-long prime mission comprising 32 high inclination, high eccentricity orbits of Jupiter. The orbit is polar (90 degree inclination) with a periapsis altitude of 4200-8000 km and a semi-major axis of 23.4 RJ (Jovian radius) giving an orbital period of 13.965 days. The primary science is acquired for approximately 6 hours centered on each periapsis although fields and particles data are acquired at low rates for the remaining apoapsis portion of each orbit. Juno is a spin-stabilized spacecraft equipped for 8 diverse science investigations plus a camera included for education and public outreach.

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, 2. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Europa is believed to have a liquid ocean beneath its icy shell, abundant physical energy, and drivers for chemical disequilibrium. The Europa Clipper mission will conduct multiple fly-bys of Europa while orbiting Jupiter, with the overarching goal to explore this moon to investigate its habitability. This goal encompasses three Mission Objectives: I. Characterize the ice shell and any subsurface water, including their heterogeneity, ocean properties, and the nature of surface-ice-ocean exchange; II. Understand the habitability of Europa's ocean through composition and chemistry; and III. Understand the formation of surface features, including sites of recent or current activity, and characterize high science interest localities. The Europa Clipper addresses these with a capable payload of scientific instruments, plus gravity/radio and radiation science investigations. NASA selected a payload consisting of both remote-sensing and in-situ-observing instruments. The remote-sensing instruments observe the wavelength range from ultraviolet through radar, which are the Europa Ultraviolet Spectrograph (Europa-UVS), the Europa Imaging System (EIS), the Mapping Imaging Spectrometer for Europa (MISE), the Europa Thermal Imaging System (E-THEMIS), and the Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface (REASON). The in-situ-measuring particle instruments comprise the Plasma Instrument for Magnetic Sounding (PIMS), the MAss Spectrometer for Planetary Exploration (MASPEX), and the SUrface Dust Analyzer (SUDA).

  • Learned Factor Graph-Based Models for Localizing Ground Penetrating Radar
    Ground Encoding: Learned Factor Graph-based Models for Localizing Ground Penetrating Radar Alexander Baikovitz1, Paloma Sodhi1, Michael Dille2, Michael Kaess1 Learned sensor Correlation added to factor Estimation of system Abstract— We address the problem of robot localization using model graph of system poses trajectory ground penetrating radar (GPR) sensors. Current approaches x x ... x x for localization with GPR sensors require a priori maps of t-k-1 t-k t-1 t xt-k xt the system’s environment as well as access to approximate net global positioning (GPS) during operation. In this paper, T t-k,t we propose a novel, real-time GPR-based localization system GPR Submaps for unknown and GPS-denied environments. We model the localization problem as an inference over a factor graph. Our T ime t-k T ime t approach combines 1D single-channel GPR measurements to form 2D image submaps. To use these GPR images in the graph, we need sensor models that can map noisy, high- dimensional image measurements into the state space. These are challenging to obtain a priori since image generation has a complex dependency on subsurface composition and radar physics, which itself varies with sensors and variations in subsurface electromagnetic properties. Our key idea is to instead learn relative sensor models directly from GPR data that map non-sequential GPR image pairs to relative robot motion. These models are incorporated as factors within the Fig. 1: Estimating poses for a ground vehicle using subsurface measure- factor graph with relative motion predictions correcting for ments from Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) as inference over a factor accumulated drift in the position estimates.
