So far, tracking and activity recognition were mostly considered as orthogonal problems, which limits the richness of possible context inference. In this work, we introduce the novel unified computational and representational framework S-SMART that simultaneously models the environment state (semantic mapping), localizes the user within this map (tracking), and recognizes interactions with the environment (activity recognition). Thus, S-SMART identifies which activities the user executes where (e.g.,\n            <jats:italic>turning a handle<\/jats:italic>\n            next to a\n            <jats:italic>window<\/jats:italic>\n            ), and reflects the outcome of these actions by updating the world model (e.g.,\n            <jats:italic>the window is now open<\/jats:italic>\n            ). This in turn conditions the future possibility of executing actions at specific places (e.g.,\n            <jats:italic>closing the window<\/jats:italic>\n            is likely to be the next action at this location). S-SMART works in a self-contained manner and iteratively builds the semantic map from wearable sensors only. This enables the seamless deployment to new environments.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>We characterize S-SMART in an experimental dataset with people performing hand actions as part of their usual routines at home and in office buildings. The framework combines dead reckoning from a foot-worn motion sensor with template-matching-based action recognition, identifying objects in the environment (windows, doors, water taps, phones, etc.) and tracking their state (open\/closed, etc.). In real-life recordings with up to 23 action classes, S-SMART consistently outperforms independent systems for positioning and activity recognition, and constructs accurate semantic maps. This environment representation enables novel applications that build upon information about the arrangement and state of the user\u2019s surroundings. For example, it may be possible to remind elderly people of a window that they left open before leaving the house, or of a plant they did not water yet, using solely wearable sensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/2824286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,22]],"date-time":"2016-02-22T13:07:16Z","timestamp":1456146436000},"page":"1-28","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["S-SMART"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Hardegger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wearable Computing Laboratory, ETH Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Roggen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sensor Technology Research Centre, University of Sussex, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Calatroni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wearable Computing Laboratory, ETH Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerhard","family":"Tr\u00f6ster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wearable Computing Laboratory, ETH Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/BSN.2014.29"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/FUZZY.2010.5584187"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/JPROC.2012.2189785"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","unstructured":"Tim Bajarin. 2014.
