• Abstract: The recognition of human activities based on WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) enables contactless and visual privacy-preserving sensing in indoor environments. However, poor model generalization, due to varying environmental conditions and sensing hardware, is a well-known problem in this space. To address this issue, in this work, data augmentation techniques commonly used in image-based learning are applied to WiFi CSI to investigate their effects on model generalization performance in cross-scenario and cross-system settings. In particular, we focus on the generalization between line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) through-wall scenarios, as well as on the generalization between different antenna systems, which remains under-explored. We collect and make publicly available a dataset of CSI amplitude spectrograms of human activities. Utilizing this data, an ablation study is conducted in which activity recognition models based on the EfficientNetV2 architecture are trained, allowing us to assess the effects of each augmentation on model generalization performance. The gathered results show that specific combinations of simple data augmentation techniques applied to CSI amplitude data can significantly improve cross-scenario and cross-system generalization.

  Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) research is challenged by the cross-domain problem, where there is a domain gap between the training and testing data. We propose task-specific FAS data augmentation (FAS-Aug), which increases data diversity by synthesizing data of artifacts. We also propose Spoofing Attack Risk Equalization (SARE) to prevent models from relying on certain types of artifacts and improve the generalization performance.
