CitySense Large-Scale Sensing in Urban Scenario

2012-2016

COPELABS coordination: Paulo Mendes

This project aims at developing a novel urban opportunistic sensing system able to augment the user daily experience based on the intelligent analysis of sensorial data opportunistically collected and shared over a large set of personal devices. This project has three building blocks: i) methods and algorithms for the analysis of data collected by distributed pervasive devices; ii) augmented user experience and usability; iii) data sharing systems able to support users’ privacy while taking advantage of available social networking platforms.
