Abstract
This paper deals with the RESIMA architecture developed to assist people in performing daily activity in indoor environment. As respect to solutions presented in the SOTA, RESIMA is a smart multi-parametric assistive system which performs a high resolution monitoring of the user position in the spatial-temporal domain as well as a deep inertial monitoring of the user status, thus assuring a reliable and continuous form of assistance to weak users. The system is based on a Wireless Sensor Network and smart paradigms which extract relevant information from data collected through the multi-sensor architecture. The paper mainly focuses on the multi-sensor system architecture and smart paradigms used to implement user localization. Positioning system accuracy of about 3 cm has been obtained while the system shows good reproducibility and reliability.Keywords
