Effect of psychosocial stress on health has been a central focus area of public health research. This demonstration features a wireless sensor suite called AutoSense that collects and processes cardiovascular, respiratory, and thermoregularity measurements that can inform about the general stress state of test subjects in their natural environment.The AutoSense suite is complemented with a software framework called FieldStream on a smart phone that processes sensor measurements received from AutoSense to infer stress and other rich human behaviors (e.g., activity). In the demonstration we will have subjects wearing AutoSense suite and ANT enabled mobile phones providing real time data analysis to compute various stress indices and contextual information based on activity and respiration analysis.
Recent advances in mobile health have produced several new models for
inferring stress from wearable sensors. But, the lack of a gold standard is a
major hurdle in making clinical use of continuous stress measurements derived
from wearable sensors. In this paper, we present a stress model (called
cStress) that has been carefully developed with attention
to every step of computational modeling including data collection, screening,
cleaning, filtering, feature computation, normalization, and model training.
More importantly, cStress was trained using data collected from a rigorous lab
study with 21 participants and validated on two independently collected data
sets — in a lab study on 26 participants and in a week-long field study
with 20 participants. In testing, the model obtains a recall of 89% and
a false positive rate of 5% on lab data. On field data, the model is
able to predict each instantaneous self-report with an accuracy of
72%.
We study circular synthetic aperture radar (CSAR) systems collecting radar backscatter measurements over a complete circular aperture of 360 degrees. This study is motivated by the GOTCHA CSAR data collection experiment conducted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Circular SAR provides wide-angle information about the anisotropic reflectivity of the scattering centers in the scene, and also provides three dimensional information about the location of the scattering centers due to a non planar collection geometry. Three dimensional imaging results with single pass circular SAR data reveals that the 3D resolution of the system is poor due to the limited persistence of the reflectors in the scene. We present results on polarimetric processing of CSAR data and illustrate reasoning of three dimensional shape from multi-view layover using prior information about target scattering mechanisms. Next, we discuss processing of multipass (CSAR) data and present volumetric imaging results with IFSAR and three dimensional backprojection techniques on the GOTCHA data set. We observe that the volumetric imaging with GOTCHA data is degraded by aliasing and high sidelobes due to nonlinear flightpaths and sparse and unequal sampling in elevation. We conclude with a model based technique that resolves target features and enhances the volumetric imagery by extrapolating the phase history data using the estimated model.
