摘要
Monitoring group mobility and structure is crucial for understanding group activities and social relations. In this paper, we develop algorithms for fine-grained mobility classification and structure recognition of social groups utilizing mobile devices. First, we present a method that recognizes four levels of group mobility, including stationary, strolling, walking, and running. Second, using multiple types of mobile sensors, a novel relative position relationship estimation algorithm is developed to understand different moving group structures. We have conducted real-life experiments in which 12 volunteers moved in different small groups either in an office building or a shopping mall with various speeds and structures. Experimental results show that our approach achieves an accuracy of 99.5 percent in group mobility level classification and about 80 percent in group structure recognition.
