Mtemp: An Ambient Temperature Estimation Method Using Acoustic Signal On Mobile Devices, Hao Guo
Masters Theses
Ambient temperature sensing plays an important role in a number of applications in agriculture, industry, daily health care. In this thesis project, we propose a new acoustic-based ambient temperature sensing method called Mtemp. Mtemp empowers acoustic-enabled IoT devices, smartphones to perform ambient air temperature sensing without additional hardware. Basically, Mtemp utilizes on-board speaker and microphone to calculate the propagation speed of acoustic signal by measuring the phrase of the target signal, thereby estimate the ambient temperature according to a roughly linear relationship between temperature and sound speed. Mtemp is portable and economical, making it competitive compared with traditional thermometers for …
