Abstract
One application of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) that supports people in their daily activities is the smart home, which has become a popular topic for research over the past 10 years. The smart home can support the occupant in a variety of ways: watching for potential risks, detecting any abnormality, adapting home for environmental conditions, inducing behavioral change, and many more. For a smart home to support its occupant, it must recognize their behaviors, which is the first part of the smart home problem. In this chapter, we introduce a method that can accurately recognize the occupant’s behaviors. We demonstrate our algorithm on sensor data from a real smart home.
