Integrating Human Observations and Sensor Observations – the Example of a Noise Mapping Community
Integrating Human Observations and Sensor Observations – the Example of a Noise Mapping Community
1.
Integrating Human Observations and Sensor Observations – the Example of a Noise Mapping Community Theodor Foerster Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi) Workshop DE2010 20th September 2010
8.
Interest in noise Noise vs. climate change Noise vs. global warming
9.
How to share and create noise data <ul><li>Using sensors </li></ul><ul><li>VGI! </li></ul><ul><li>Publish data centrally </li></ul><ul><li>Spatio-temporal analysis </li></ul>

Noise mapping - currently <ul><li>Not digital </li></ul><ul><li>No full coverage </li></ul><ul><li>Only local at a specific time </li></ul><ul><li>Integration missing </li></ul><ul><li> Use case driven & expensive </li></ul>

Idea <ul><li>Noise mapping community </li></ul><ul><li>Constantly measure noise through smart phones </li></ul><ul><li>Global scale </li></ul><ul><li>Android app </li></ul><ul><li>Build the Human Sensor Web </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Existing Sensor Webs (from authorities) </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Example: Flightwise.com </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Human observations </li></ul></ul>

Open issues <ul><li>Power consumption </li></ul><ul><li>Sampling rate </li></ul><ul><li>Human observations </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Trust & Accuracy </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Semantics </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Validation </li></ul></ul><ul><li>How to build a community? </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Incentives & motivation </li></ul></ul>

Conclusion <ul><li>Human Sensor Web </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Applicable to other VGI scenarios </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Project at the start </li></ul><ul><li>Still open questions </li></ul>
