Feasibility on Detecting Door Slamming towards Monitoring Early Signs of Domestic Violence
IEEE/ACM IoTDI 2022.
Examines whether microcontrollers and TinyML can detect aggressive door slamming as an early warning signal for domestic violence.
By using low-cost microcontrollers and TinyML, this project investigates the feasibility of detecting potential early warning signs of domestic violence and other anti-social behaviors within the home.
The prototype trains a TinyML model to classify door closing events using audio and accelerometer data on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense. The machine learning model achieved 88.89% accuracy under controlled conditions, declining to 87.50% when assorted background noises were mixed in. Results show promising accuracy under varied background noise, highlighting potential for supporting social workers and law enforcement in social housing contexts.
