Abstract(in English) People flow analysis, which visualizes and analyzes the movement and/or stay of people in various locations, is attracting attention. As a method to analyze people flow without human intervention, wireless sensing of mobile terminals owned by people via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth has been considered. However, in recent years, from the viewpoint of privacy protection, there has been concern about identifying individuals from their behavioral history through connections based on the physical addresses of wireless terminals. In addition, due to the anonymization of physical addresses in operating systems, it is not easy to use this method directly for people flow estimation. In this paper, we propose a learning-based algorithm to estimate people flow from the history of observed number of persons at a certain point in time, using training data that maps time-series data of the number of persons based on Wi-Fi connection information to the number of movements per unit of time. We also verify the effectiveness of the proposed method using log data from the campus-wide Wi-Fi service.
