A Proof of Concept for People Tracking Application Using Smart-Spaces A PROOF OF CONCEPT FOR PEOPLE TRACKING APPLICATION USING SMART-SPACES, ONLING SERVICES AND COMPUTER VISION Frank Wickström Master of Science Thesis Supervisor: Prof. Johan Lilius Advisor: Dr. Sébastien Lafond Department of Information Technologies Åbo Akademi University March 2013 ABSTRACT People share more information about themselves and other than ever before and most of the data stored by services are not used to the extent that they could be. This has led to an increased popularity in data mining and knowledge extraction, where existing data is being used to create intelligent systems and artificial intelligence. Smart-spaces, where data is used to create an environment where devices and humans interact are also on the rise as the internet of things becomes more popular and devices are becoming aware of their environments. In this thesis we present an implementation of how to track people given existing sources of data. We cover how we combine data sources, and make them aware of each other by connecting them to a single database. The created software is able to track people based on information from web services as well as IP cameras, and is managed via a web interface. We have come to the conclusion that the information already available today could be used to create new and smart applications if combined and processed the right way.

And with a new interest in the Internet of things, we might soon see everyday objects such as chairs and door talking to each other. The more data are retrieved by sensors the more data storage and processing needed to get the most out of the information. Data processing however is mostly done by the owner of the data, and combining data and data mining is becoming the natural next step to create more intelligent software. In this thesis we introduce a way of collecting information from several data sources that feature location data. By combining information from these sources we create an application which can track people’s current location with more precision than by using a single source of location data. 1.1 AMEBA project This thesis was done within the AMEBA (Agent based Management of EmBedded dAta reservers) project. The AMEBA project aim to show the advantages of three- dimensional data storage by using distributed agent-based data management. This thesis aims to create a demonstrator for showing some of the features that can be ac- complished by using such data management. 1.2 Problem statement As storage grows bigger and cheaper, companies are starting to store more and more information than what was possible before. Most of the additional information is no longer created by humans, but by machines. Information such as logs, meta-data and sensory information are being added to content created by human, and is putting a higher demand on storage than ever before. However one of the problems with the 1 large amounts of data is that it is never processed in any way. Every time users upload an image taken by their mobile phone to a photo sharing application it may contain a lot more information than just the image. If the GPS was enabled, location informa- tion might be embedded in the image, and other meta-data such as ISO and exposure information might be included as well. Facebook also adds information about a users location to status update, if the user has allowed it. All of this extra information is only used if the service storing deemed it fit for processing. Otherwise they are stored, and most likely not used until they ultimately are deleted. We propose a system letting a third party process the meta information, in our case location information. By combining location data from several sources, more intelli- gent people tracking is possible which could include predictions of peoples next move. The data can also come from sources such as video surveillance systems, in which several terabytes can be stored every day. The data from such systems might stay un- touched as surveillance system operators might never need access to it. We propose an application processing the video stream and extracting addition information, such as human recognition and movement prediction. By running face recognition algorithms on the video stream, people tracking could be done automatically. Knowing the direc- tion the camera is pointed in and tracking at what direction a person is walking, one could follow a person around without human interaction. The databases storing data in larger applications are very non interactive as pro- grams often have to query information, before they can get data to process. If applica- tions are to respond quickly to new information added, it will have to constantly poll for the information, which increases the load on the database server. The solution we purpose to lowering the response time is to use the Smart-M3 triple-store database, which supports subscriptions and can push information to an application when the ap- propriate data has been added to the database. Something which puts less strain on the database, and makes response times smaller. 1.3 Thesis structure Chapter 2 includes current techniques used for tracking people, as well as the intru- siveness of tracking people with such methods. We distinguished four main methods which are used for tracking. Human recognition, which includes using computers for recognizing people. Electronic tracking, which uses electronic devices such as GPS for 2 tracking. Location prediction, which can be used when enough data exists and lastly web services which are the newcomer when it comes to tracking, and offers several location based services for tracking people.

This generation tries to fill the gap of missing developer-friendly alternatives to build systems with e-commerce components. Current offered solutions are mostly aimed for the comfortable use of designers and other non-technical roles, usually in the shape of out-of-the-box products. These solutions are usually limiting the ability of developers to integrate technologies or build innovative business models, thus sometimes forcing companies to invest in projects that have to be built practically from the start. This document describes the development of the first web-shop built with one of these solutions, SPHERE.IO, an e-commerce platform-as-a-service developed in Berlin by commercetools GmbH.

In spite of its ever-growing community, researchers as web programming [4], mobile application development [5], have not performed much analysis on Python’s topics, trends, and tech- security [6], and blockchain [7]. However, none of them has nologies which provides insights for developers about Python commu- focused on Python. In this study, we shed light on the nity trends and main issues. In this article, we examine the main topics Python’s main areas of discussion through mining 2 461 876 related to this language being discussed by developers on one of the most popular Q&A websites, Stack Overflow, as well as temporal trends posts, from August 2008 to January 2019, using LDA based through mining 2 461 876 posts. To be more useful for the software topic modeling . We also analyze the temporal trends of engineers, we study what Python provides as the alternative to popular the extracted topics to find out how the developers’ interest technologies offered by common programming languages like Java. is changing over the time. After explaining the topics and Our results indicate that discussions about Python standard features, trends of Python, we investigate the technologies offered web programming, and scientific programming 1 are the most popular by Python, which are not properly revealed by the topic areas in the Python community.
