ARGUS: Attention-Guided Transformers for Scalable Person Identification Using Wi-Fi Telemetry

arXiv:2608. 14670v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Passive, device-free person identification offers an alternative to camera- and wearable-based biometrics, yet existing wireless approaches rely largely on gait or activity cues and are rarely evaluated at scale.

Selfie-Capture Dynamics as an Auxiliary Signal Against Deepfakes and Injection Attacks for Mobile Identity Verification

The paper investigates whether passive motion traces recorded during selfie capture can serve as an auxiliary signal for detecting spoofing and verifying users in mobile remote identity verification systems. It introduces the CanSelfie dataset, comprising 375 multi‑sensor sequences from 30 participants, and evaluates seven time‑series classifiers and eight anomaly detectors across various sensor configurations. Results show that accelerometer‑only classifiers achieve very low false rejection rates, while certain models achieve low false acceptance rates and high verification accuracy, indicating that selfie‑capture motion is a promising low‑friction evidence channel.

A comparison between ceiling-mounted FMCW, IR-UWB and Wi-Fi radar for in-bedroom human activity monitoring and sleep interruption detection

arXiv:2608. 20322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite their growing importance for contact-free radio frequency (RF) based healthcare monitoring, different radio technologies such as frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar, impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB), and Wi-Fi sensing are rarely compared under identical deployment conditions, as existing studies typically differ in hardware, datasets, and evaluation methodologies.

Beyond Gait: Person Identification from Millimeter-Wave Point Clouds Across Activities of Daily Living

The paper explores person identification using millimeter‑wave point clouds beyond traditional gait analysis, focusing on seven activities of daily living (ADLs). It introduces the mm‑ADL dataset of 11 subjects and proposes an activity‑conditioned framework that routes each clip to an activity‑specific identity expert via a supervised mixture of experts. Experiments show that hard routing improves closed‑set ID accuracy from 62.1% to 68.0% and significantly boosts re‑identification metrics, demonstrating the benefit of activity context under controlled indoor conditions.

When Temporal Perturbations Act Like Sensor Biases: Label-Free Auditing of Wearable Activity Recognizers

The paper introduces SpectrumAudit, a label‑sealed auditing method for wearable human‑activity recognition models that uses phase‑randomized full‑window stimuli to probe sensor biases. By replaying the DC component and a zero‑mean residual on held‑out subjects, the audit demonstrates significant accuracy drops across 27 victim models, with DC perturbations proving more harmful than AC in most cases. The study also shows that the audit can distinguish between persistent sensor offsets and zero‑mean variations under a fixed peak‑budget.

CIG-MAE: Cross-Modal Information-Guided Masked Autoencoder for Self-Supervised WiFi Sensing

CIG-MAE is a self‑supervised framework for WiFi‑based human action recognition that uses a cross‑modal masked autoencoder to reconstruct both amplitude and phase of Channel State Information. It introduces an adaptive, information‑guided masking strategy that focuses on high‑density time‑frequency regions and employs a Barlow Twins regularizer to align cross‑modal representations without negative samples. Experiments on three public datasets show that CIG‑MAE outperforms state‑of‑the‑art SSL methods and even surpasses a fully supervised baseline, highlighting its data efficiency, robustness, and generalization.
