ENHANCING SMART HOME AUTOMATION
THROUGH INTEGRATED SOUND SOURCE
LOCALIZATION AND AI-BASED SOUND
RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGIES
ABSTRACT Poster
RESEARCH BACKGROUND
The integration of advanced technologies into smart home systems has shown the
potential to enhance user interaction and system automation. Particularly, the ability
to interpret and respond to a user's needs in real-time remains a significant challenge.
KWOK KA KUEN This study explores the potential of using Sound Source Localization (SSL) and AI-
based sound recognition technologies to elevate the automation capabilities of smart
homes.
BSc (Hons) in Multimedia Technology
and Innovation METHODOLOGY
Department of Digital Innovation and The study implements an integrated system comprising SSL to pinpoint the origin
Technology of sounds within the home environment, and AI-driven algorithms to analyze these
sounds for user activity and state. The system processes this data to control smart
home devices such as lighting, and scenes to adapt user’s inferred needs.
