Background: Speaker detection is an important component of many human-computer interaction applications, like for example, multimedia indexing, or ambient intelligent systems. This work addresses the problem of detecting the current speaker in audio-visual ...
Opportunistic sensing can be used to obtain data from sensors that just happen to be present in the user’s surroundings. By harnessing these opportunistic sensor configurations to infer activity or context, ambient intelligence environments become more rob ...
Recently, European Union advocates the smart Solid-State Lighting (SSL). The key factors are a smart-control scheme and an interaction with other networks, such as communication networks and traffic monitoring sensor networks. Public lighting represents a ...
Although the Internet of Things allows seamless access to billions of sensors readily deployed throughout the world, current context- and activity-recognition approaches restrict ambient intelligence to domains where dedicated sensors are deployed. The big ...
