Big Data Analytics Panel at the International Workshop on Crowd Assisted Sensing, Pervasive Systems and Communications (CASPer 2017) at IEEE PerCom

Crowd assisted sensing and crowdsourcing, as well as their underlying pervasive systems and communications are a fast growing research area and one of the enabling technologies of smart cities and smart infrastructures, as well as important building blocks in healthcare monitoring and vehicular technologies. Crowd assisted sensing (often called participatory sensing) opens new ways for…

DFG project on extracting emotions for urban research started

Recently the new research project “Urban Emotions” has started. It is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and aims at the development of a methodology to extract contextual emotional information for spatial planning based on real-time people-as-sensors and crowdsourcing approaches with social media. The spatial and social structures of a city and its underlying…

Information fusion infrastructure for remote-sensing and in-situ sensor data to model people dynamics

The term “real time” regarding airborne remote-sensing data can only seldom be found in recent literature on geospatial research. In the course of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) project VABENE, an airborne monitoring system has been developed which is able to pre-process remotely sensed images in real time by an on-board computing system. Afterwards, the…
