BAIF Experience in Field Data Collection

Small Drone Field Experiment: Data Collection & Processing

Following an initiative formalized in April 2016—formally known as ARL West—between the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies (USC ICT), a field experiment was coordinated and executed in the summer of 2016 by ARL, USC ICT, and Headwall Photonics. The purpose was to image part of the USC main campus in Los Angeles, USA, u...

Collection and Distribution of Disaster Field Data

Experience in software reliability: From data collection to quantitative evaluation

This paper describes the different steps in software failure data processing in order to monitor the software development and to quantify the operational reliability. Processing consists in (a) filtering the raw data in order to keep only those corresponding to software failures without duplicate, (b) partitioning of data into sub-sets according for instance to failure severity or fault locatio...

Data Collection and Analysis Methods for Data from Field Experiments

Scaffolding Children’s Scientific Data Collection in a Virtual Field

The Field is a simulated virtual environment designed to help elementary school students learn the basic skills of observational science in the context of mathematics and science. Over the last four years, we have iteratively developed technical aids for navigation and data collection based on observations we have conducted in an elementary school. This paper discusses the problems students enc...
