BodySys 2022 Paper #7 Reviews and Comments =========================================================================== Paper #7 PetTrack: Tracking Pet Location and Activity Indoors Review #7A =========================================================================== Overall merit ------------- 5. Strong accept Reviewer expertise ------------------ 3. Knowledgeable Paper summary ------------- This paper describes a frugal scheme for indoor localization and pose detection system for pets using ultra-wideband (UWB) radios and accelerometers attached to the pet’s collar. The authors report a new message format for UWB packets to carry accelerometer data as well as a pose-estimation logic to detect the pet’s pose using the accelerometer data. Their tracking solution is then made available on a mobile app. Comments for author ------------------- The paper is concisely written and the methodology followed is easy to understand. Automation of acquisition of floormaps/regions of interest will be an added bonus but I understand that is out of the scope of current work. Review #7B =========================================================================== Overall merit ------------- 4. Accept Reviewer expertise ------------------ 3. Knowledgeable Paper summary ------------- This paper presents a pet tracking that localizes and also estimates rough pose using ultra wide-band signaling and leveraging accelerometers. Comments for author ------------------- Very interesting piece of work and impressive design and localization results. It will be interesting to hear the authors' inputs/experience on comparison with camera based tracking (night vision cameras) and other RF options such as WiFi (more recently using Finite Time Measurements FTM).
