Job Title
Thesis - Exploring Wi-Fi Sensing for Future Intercom ApplicationsJob Description
Category
Wireless Communications, Machine Learning, and Embedded Systems
Scope
1-2 Master thesis students or 2 Bachelor thesis students
Background
Could Wi-Fi help an intercom detect an approaching visitor or determine whether someone is still waiting nearby? Wi-Fi signals are affected by people and objects, and research shows that channel state information (CSI) can be used to explore presence detection without requiring people to carry a connected device.
This thesis, hosted by the Intercom Product SW team, will investigate Wi-Fi sensing for future intercom applications. Since current intercoms lack native Wi-Fi, experiments may use a suitable Axis device, an external Wi-Fi module, or a Raspberry Pi-based platform. Access to useful radio measurements will be investigated at the start. The final scope will be shaped by hardware feasibility, initial experiments, and the students’ interests and background.
Goal
- Investigate available radio measurements and establish a suitable experimental platform.
- Develop and evaluate presence detection for entrance scenarios, distinguishing movement from continued presence, and considering false triggers.
- Implement a proof of concept and assess requirements for future intercom integration.
