Master's student Wang Penghao from the Faculty of Information Science and Engineering, class of 2019, completed a research paper titled "Amaging: Acoustic Hand Imaging for Self-adaptive Gesture Recognition" which was accepted by INFOCOM 2022 as the first author on December 4th, 2021. This is another breakthrough progress made by Wang Penghao in INFOCOM after his previous work "AMT: Acoustic Multi-target Tracking with Smartphone MIMO System" was accepted in INFOCOM 2021. It is also the first time students from Ocean University of China have hit the CCF A-ranked conference for two consecutive years.
Ubiquitous wireless contactless sensing technology has become an important research direction in the field of the Internet of Things in recent years, with applications in indoor positioning, gesture control, health monitoring, and other scenarios. Its main feature is that it does not require the deployment of sensors in the environment or any sensing devices carried by objects. It achieves scene perception by analyzing changes in wireless signals (acoustic, Wi-Fi, cellular, RFID, LoRa, etc.) caused by humans or the environment. Separating multiple dynamic target signals and achieving accurate interpretable models of target reflection signals have been key challenges in this field for a long time. The research team took a unique approach in 2020 to tackle the problem of passive multi-target millimeter-level tracking using smartphone MIMO acoustic system for the first time, and again in 2021 to tackle the problem of accurate interpretable models of target reflection signals, achieving passive target imaging in a constrained environment for the first time. Compared with wearable sensing and visual perception systems, the series of achievements do not require hardware changes and can achieve high-precision intelligent perception in a non-invasive and privacy-protected manner, with broad market prospects.
Under the guidance of Associate Professor Liu Chao and Dr. Jiang Ruobing from the Intelligent Internet of Things team at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Wang Penghao has been dedicated to research in the field of the Internet of Things, human-computer interaction, and intelligent perception. In addition to the above achievements, under the guidance of the two teachers, Wang Penghao has also won two national first prizes in competitions, including the iCan International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition and the "Challenge Cup" National College Students' Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition in Shandong Province, as well as three provincial first prizes in competitions.
