Recognizing the activities of daily living (ADLs) in multi-inhabitant settings is a challenging
task. One of the major challenges is the so-called data association problem: how to assign to
each user the environmental sensor events that he/she actually triggered? In this paper, we
tackle this problem with a contextaware approach. Each user in the home wears a
smartwatch, which is used to gather several high-level context information, like the location
in the home (thanks to a micro-localization infrastructure) and the posture (eg, sitting or …
Recognizing the activities of daily living (ADLs) in multi-inhabitant settings is a challenging task. One of the major challenges is the so-called data association problem: how to assign to each user the environmental sensor events that he/she actually triggered? In this paper, we tackle this problem with a contextaware approach. Each user in the home wears a smartwatch, which is used to gather several high-level context information, like the location in the home (thanks to a micro-localization infrastructure) and the posture (e.g., sitting or standing). Context data is used to associate sensor events to the users which more likely triggered them. We show the impact of context reasoning in our framework on a dataset where up to 4 subjects perform ADLs at the same time (collaboratively or individually). We also report our experience and the lessons learned in deploying a running prototype of our method.
