Group affiliation detection in a challenging environment

Jonsson, Håkan LU and Nugues, Pierre LU orcid (2018) 141. p.507-512
Abstract
Social interaction sensing and indoor positioning using are widely researched. However, many use cases only need to determine proximity, and not the exact location. In this paper, we describe two methods to determine which meeting each user is participating in using proximity data collected from a challenging real-world office.
We show that the RSSI threshold approach to detecting proximity is not feasible due to the optimal RSSI range being very small. Instead, we achieve an F-score of 82% with a simple method, k-nearest neighbor classification, using data from the whole population. This method does not need any historical data or training, calibration to an environment, nor find a specific RSSI threshold. Finally, we present result... (More)
