CoSDEO 2016 Keynote: A decade later Challenges: Device free passive localization for wireless environments
The proliferation of RF networks coupled with the diverse and growing set of mobile devices, opened the doors for a new class of context awareness through contact free ambient sensing. Since our initial challenges paper in 2007, the field of device free passive sensing has witnessed an exponential growth; covering areas such as intrusion detection, mobile healthcare, whole home gesture recognition, traffic estimation, border protection, among others. In this talk, we give a holistic overview of the area of contact free ambient sensing based on RF technology, highlighting how it evolved over a decade from binary detection in controlled environments to commercial systems for border protection and smart homes. We also give insights about the current trends and possible future research challenges.
