Urban Sensing: Opportunistic or Participatory?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sensing systems for urban deployments are still in their infancy. An interesting unresolved issue is the precise role assumed by people within such systems. This issue has significant implications on where the complexity and main challenges in building urban sensing system reside. We discuss the two endpoints of the spectrum of conscious human involvement, namely participatory sensing and opportunistic sensing.

Reconstruction of temporal-spatial profile from participatory sensing data using Compressive Sensing
The reconstruction of an unknown temporal-spatial profile from participatory sensing data poses a number of challenges due to uncoordinated user movement and possibly low user involvement. This paper considers the problem of reconstructing such a profile from participatory sensing data by exploiting the theory of compressive sensing. In particular we study the impact of the number of users and ...

متن کاملMobile Sensing Systems
Rich-sensor smart phones have made possible the recent birth of the mobile sensing research area as part of ubiquitous sensing which integrates other areas such as wireless sensor networks and web sensing. There are several types of mobile sensing: individual, participatory, opportunistic, crowd, social, etc. The object of sensing can be people-centered or environment-centered. The sensing doma...
متن کاملParticipatory Sensing
This paper introduces the concept of participatory sensing, which tasks everyday mobile devices, such as cellular phones, to form interactive, participatory sensor networks that enable public and professional users to gather, analyze and share local knowledge. An initial architecture to enhance data credibility, quality, privacy and ‘shareability’ in such networks is described, as well as a cam...
متن کاملHybrid Crowdsensing: A Novel Paradigm to Combine the Strengths of Opportunistic and Participatory Crowdsensing
Crowdsensing systems can be either participatory or opportunistic, depending on whether the user intentionally contributes data, or she simply acts as the bearer of a sensing device from which data is transparently collected. In this paper, we propose hybrid crowdsensing, a social mediabased paradigm which aims at combining the strengths of both participatory and opportunistic crowdsensing. Wit...
