Article
With the increasing pervasiveness of smart earphones, it is appealing to propose more unobtrusive and convenient wearable authentication methods. Researchers have designed earphone-based authentication systems which utilize high-frequency audio signals to scan ear canal structure.Nevertheless, they possess shortcomings of low unobtrusiveness and ro...
Article
Acoustic-based human gesture recognition (HGR) applications have drawn increasing academic attention in order to overcome the shortcomings of conventional interaction methods on tiny devices. Existing techniques following a learning-based routine requires collecting massive application-specific training data. What is worse, the cross-domain problem...
Article
Acoustic-based human gesture recognition (HGR) offers diverse applications due to the ubiquity of sensors and touch-free interaction. However, existing machine learning approaches require substantial training data, making the process time-consuming, costly, and labor-intensive. Recent studies have explored cross-modal methods to reduce the need for...
Article
Limited by size, shape, and other factors, it is rather inconvenient to interact with new smart devices by traditional methods. Acoustic-based methods following a machine learning approach have been put forward to resolve this problem in previous works. But they possess limitations of heavy training overhead, low performance for unseen users, and i...

Handwritten signatures are widely used for identity authorization. However, verifying handwritten signatures is cumbersome in practice due to the dependency on extra drawing tools such as a digitizer, and because the false acceptance of a forged signature can cause damage to property. Therefore, exploring a way to balance the security and user expe...

Contactless authentication is crucial to keep social distance and prevent bacterial infection. However, existing authentication approaches, such as fingerprinting and face recognition, leverage sensors to verify static biometric features. They either increase the probability of indirect infection or inconvenience the users wearing masks. To tackle...
Article
User authentication and identification on smart devices has great significance in keeping data privacy and recommending personalized services. With the rising popularity of smart earphones recently, they open up a new world for users to enjoy music individually, but also bring about privacy concerns at the same time. Existing few research works pro...
Article
Nowadays transceiver-free (also referred to as device-free) localization using Received Signal Strength (RSS) is a hot topic for researchers due to its widespread applicability. However, RSS is easily affected by the indoor environment, resulting in a dense deployment of reference nodes. Some hybrid systems have already been proposed to help RSS lo...
Chapter
Human reading states reflect people’s mental activities and are closely related with learning behaviors. Consequently, it is of great value to identify reading states in many aspects. For example, it can provide timely assistance in learning processes and boost the learning efficiency of learners in a personalized way. Conventionally, researchers u...
Article
Strength training is becoming increasingly popular among all age groups, as it helps participants increase muscle strength, improve body flexibility, reduce health risks and reshape physical forms. However, strength training imposes strict regulations on gestures and requires professional instruction in real time for the sake of body-building effic...
Article
Recently, wearable devices have become increasingly popular in our lives because of their neat features and stylish appearance. However, their tiny sizes bring about new challenges to human-device interaction such as texts input. Although some novel methods have been put forward, they possess different defects and are not applicable to deal with th...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
EMG is becoming an emerging interface for human-computer interface and has been applied to gesture recognition in previous work. However, those existing EMG-based interfaces can only recognize gestures at a coarse-grained level such as hand and arm gestures, which constraints their usage in applications involving fine-grained activities such as tex...
Article
User authentication on smart devices is indispensable to keep data privacy and security. It is especially significant for emerging wearable devices such as smartwatches considering data sensitivity in them. However, conventional authentication methods are not applicable for wearables due to constraints of size and hardware, which makes present wear...
Conference Paper
Recently, tiny smart devices have become increasingly popular in our lives because of their neat features and stylish appearance. However, their small form factors, especially screens, make it inconvenient for users to enter texts with conventional methods such as soft keyboards, which need a fairly large screen. To address this problem, we propose...
Article
Wi-Fi, which enables convenient wireless access to Internet services, has become integral to our modern lives. With widely-deployed Wi-Fi infrastructure, modern people can enjoy a variety of online services such as web browsing, online shopping, social interaction, and e-commerce almost at any time and any place. Traditionally, the most significant...
Article
Recent literature advances Wi-Fi signals to 'see' people's motions and locations. This paper asks the following question: Can Wi-Fi 'hear' our talks? We present WiHear, which enables Wi-Fi signals to 'hear' our talks without deploying any devices. To achieve this, WiHear needs to detect and analyze fine-grained radio reflections from mouth movement...
Article
Gesture recognition has emerged recently as a promising application in our daily lives. Owing to low cost, prevalent availability, and structural simplicity, RFID shall become a popular technology for gesture recognition. However, the performance of existing RFID-based gesture recognition systems is constrained by unfavorable intrusiveness to users...
Article
Seeing through walls and knowing clearly what exist inside just like a superman are not only fantastic wishes for humans, but also of much practical significance. For example, you would like to know whether there are pipes, or rebars inside a wall before drilling into it. Moreover, knowing how pipes are configured in a wall before attempting to fix...
