Person Movement Prediction Using Neural Network

Technical Report, Institute of Computer Science, University of Augsburg, April 2004

Abstract:

Ubiquitous systems use context information to adapt appliance behavior to human needs. Even more convenience is reached if the appliance foresees the user s desires and acts proactively. This paper proposes neural prediction techniques to anticipate a person s next movement. We focus on neural predictors (multi-layer perceptron with back-propagation learning) with and without pre-training. The optimal configuration of the neural network is determined by evaluating movement sequences of real persons within an office building. The simulation results, obtained with one of the pre-trained neural predictors, show accuracy in next location prediction reaching up to 92%.
