- 通过动态方差门抑制静态环境噪声,增强人体运动信号。
- 在未知环境下实现98.8%准确率,无需微调即可跨域部署。
- 适合做边缘计算的实时跌倒监测系统,适用于智能家居安全场景。
利用无线信道状态信息(CSI)进行无设备跌倒检测,已成为物联网时代老年人健康监护的一种有前景且保护隐私的解决方案。然而,现有深度学习方法在未见环境中部署时性能严重下降,主要受静态背景过拟合和非视距(NLoS)信号衰减影响。为此,本文提出一种鲁棒且域泛化的框架,采用新颖的注意力增强型CNN-Transformer混合架构。首先设计物理驱动的动态方差门(DVG),动态计算局部时间方差,作为软注意力掩码,消除静态环境直流分量,同时放大动态人体运动信号。其次引入物理感知数据增强策略,迫使网络学习不变的形态学特征而非环境特异性噪声。此外,集成卷积块注意力模块(CBAM)以优化时空特征,再交由Transformer进行序列建模。在四个不同室内环境上的跨域评估表明,该方法在NLoS场景下达到97.6%准确率,在完全未见环境中达98.8%准确率,且无需目标域微调。最终,该框架部署于配备商用WiFi网卡的边缘计算系统上,真实世界现场测试验证了其对未知布局环境的鲁棒性及持续低延迟全屋安全监控能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Device-free fall detection utilizing WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) has emerged as a promising, privacy-preserving solution for elderly health monitoring in the Internet of Things (IoT) era. However, existing deep learning approaches suffer from severe performance degradation when deployed in unseen environments due to static background overfitting and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) signal attenuation. To address these critical bottlenecks, we propose a robust, domain-generalizable framework featuring a novel Attention-Enhanced CNN-Transformer hybrid architecture. First, we design a physics-driven \textbf{Dynamic Variance Gate (DVG)} to dynamically calculate local temporal variance, acting as a soft-attention mask that eliminates static environmental DC components while amplifying dynamic human motion. Second, we introduce a Physics-Aware Data Augmentation strategy to force the network to learn invariant morphological signatures rather than environment-specific noise. Furthermore, a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) is integrated to refine spatiotemporal features prior to Transformer-based sequence modeling. Extensive cross-domain evaluations across four distinct indoor environments demonstrate that our method achieves 97.6\% accuracy in NLoS scenarios and 98.8\% in completely unseen environments without target-domain fine-tuning. Finally, we deploy the proposed framework on an edge computing system equipped with commercial WiFi NICs. Real-world live inference field tests confirm the system's robustness against unseen environmental layouts and its capability for continuous, low-latency whole-home safety monitoring.
