Crowdsourcing has emerged as an important data collection paradigm in participatory and human-centric sensing applications. While many crowdsourcing studies focus on sensing and recovering the status of the physical world, this paper investigates the problem of profiling the crowd sensors (i.e., humans). In particular, we study the problem of accurately inferring the home locations of people from...
The primary goal of this paper is to investigate what could have made successful Google's OpenSpot, a crowdsensing based parking assistance application cancelled in 2012. For this analysis we have developed UPark, a simulation environment capable of simulating large numbers of vehicles, which look for optimal parking spots in busy urban environments and whose drivers might inform others when they...
The process of finding traversable ground is important to autonomous vehicles. To achieve this, 3D maps that contain the information about vehicle's surroundings are generally used. One of the simple methods to represent 3D maps is to use 3D point clouds collected by range sensors. But, it requires lots of memory and computation time to deal with point clouds. To solve these problems, we propose a...
Future urban computing scenarios will be characterized by the close integration of ICT devices and humans. Citizens, by using their own capabilities augmented and integrated with ICT technologies, could thus collaboratively realize a sort of socio-technical super organism to support high-levels of collective "urban" intelligence and various forms of collective actions. This position paper,...
