PowDew

PowDew

Surveillance of counterfeit powdered food products, including infant formulas, spices, and dietary supplements, poses significant threats to public health. We propose PowDew, a novel system for detecting counterfeit powdered food products using only a commodity smartphone. PowDew captures the interaction between powder and water droplets (i.e., the droplet motion) for counterfeit detection.


RampScope

RampScope

The low accuracy of GPS in urban areas causes significant real-world problems for shared mobility devices (SMDs), such as reduced usability for locating these devices. To address this issue, we propose RampScope, a ramp-level localization system that leverages the physical uniqueness of sidewalk ramps. RampScope utilizes a single gyroscope to capture the distinctive characteristics of sidewalk ramps and demonstrates its feasibility across three different types of mobility devices.
