Heterogeneous Participant Recruitment for Comprehensive Vehicle Sensing

Heterogeneous Participant Recruitment for Comprehensive Vehicle Sensing

Widely distributed mobile vehicles wherein various sensing devices and wireless communication interfaces are installed bring vehicular participatory sensing into practice. However, the heterogeneity of vehicles in terms of sensing capability and mobility, and the participants' expectations on the incentives blackmake the collection of comprehensive sensing data a challenging task. A sensing dat...

Informatics Approaches to Participant Recruitment

R.L. Richesson, J.E. Andrews (eds.), Clinical Research Informatics, Health Informatics, DOI 10.1007/978-1-84882-448-5_5, © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2012 Abstract Clinical research is essential to the advancement of medical science and is a priority for academic health centers, research funding agencies, and industries working to develop and deploy new treatments. In addition, the growing ...

Participant recruitment methods and statistical reasoning performance.

Optimal Bayesian reasoning performance has reportedly been elusive, and a variety of explanations have been suggested for this situation. In a series of experiments, it is demonstrated that these difficulties with replication can be accounted for by differences in participant-sampling methodologies. Specifically, the best performances are obtained with students from top-tier, national universit...

A Heterogeneous Sensing System-Based Method for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Indoor Positioning †

The indoor environment has brought new challenges for micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in terms of their being able to execute tasks with high positioning accuracy. Conventional positioning methods based on GPS are unreliable, although certain circumstances of limited space make it possible to apply new technologies. In this paper, we propose a novel indoor self-positioning system of UAV b...
