Updating object motion dynamics from multiple radio signals
In one embodiment, a service receives signal characteristic data indicative of characteristics of wireless signals received by one or more antennas located in a particular area. The service uses the received signal characteristic data as input to a Bayesian inference model to predict physical states of an object located in the particular area. A physical state of the object is indicative of at least one of: a mass, a velocity, an acceleration, a surface area, or a location of the object. The service updates the Bayesian inference model based in part on the predicted state of the object and a change in the received signal characteristic data and based in part by enforcing Newtonian motion dynamics on the predicted physical states.
DEVICE-FREE LOCALIZATION ROBUST TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES
A method of location determination with a WiFi transceiver and an AI model includes jointly training, based on various losses: a feature extractor, a location classifier, and a domain classifier. The domain classifier may include a first domain classifier and a second domain classifier. The losses used for training tend to cause feature data from the feature extractor to cluster even if a physical object in an environment has moved after training is completed. Then, the location classifier is able to accurately estimate the position of, for example, a person in a room, even if a door or window has changed from open to close or close to open between the time of training and the time of estimating the person's position.
