Archiving Nature’s Heartbeat Using Smartphones

2010
The impact of urban development and climate change has created the impetus to monitor changes in the environment, particularly, the behaviour, habitat and movement of fauna species. The aim of this chapter is to present the design and development of a sensor network based on Smartphones to automatically collect and analyse acoustic and visual data for ...

Ambulant Cognitive Assessment Using a Smartphone

Applied Neuropsychology: Adult, 2013
The focus of neuropsychology is to understand the relationship between assessment results and everyday cognitive abilities and disabilities. However, the generalizability of traditional neuropsychological tests to real-life behaviors, the ecological validity, is compromised by the test environment, among other things. Neuropsychological tests are often

Environment sensing using smartphone

2012 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium Proceedings, 2012
Mobile devices (in particular smartphones and tablets) can be used to monitor quality of life parameters. Today mobile devices use embedded sensors such as accelerometers, compasses, GPSs, microphones, and cameras without considering, for example, the air quality or the pollutants of the environment.

Noise-Sensing Using Smartphones

Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia - MoMM2017, 2017
In this paper, we propose to use smartphones as an environmental sensor to measure noise pollution. We focused our study on determining the precise context for the capture of environmental noise through smartphones, and performed an analysis of the impact that the sensing task collection will have on energy consumption.

Trajectory Estimations Using Smartphones

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2015
This paper investigates whether the smartphones' built-in sensors can accurately predict future trajectories for a possible implementation in a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) system. If smartphones could be used, vehicles without the V2V/V2I technology could use them to tap into the V2V/V2I infrastructure and help to ...

Gait recognition using smartphone

2016 IEEE International Carnahan Conference on Security Technology (ICCST), 2016
Gait recognition on smartphones could be considered as one of the most user-friendly biometric modalities. The main benefit of gait recognition is that it is an unobtrusive biometric modality, since it requires little interaction with the user. Users would only have to carry the sensor device and walk as normally.

Fatigue Detection using Smartphones

Journal of Ergonomics, 2013
Driver fatigue is the major cause of traffic crashes and financial losses. This paper presents an advanced computer vision and mobile technology using smartphones to monitor visual indicators of driver fatigue, allowing the possibility of making fatigue detection systems more affordable and portable.

Pulmonary Monitoring Using Smartphones

2017
Pulmonary assessment is widely employed by medical professionals and has become an important marker of health. It is used for screening, diagnostics, and management of chronic pulmonary diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, pulmonary assessment has mostly been restricted to self-report and routine
