AI-Based Sensor Information Fusion for Supporting Deep Supervised Learning

Abstract

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and its subarea of deep learning have drawn the attention of many researchers. At the same time, advances in technologies enable the generation or collection of large amounts of valuable data (e.g., sensor data) from various sources in different applications, such as those for the Internet of Things (IoT), which in turn aims towards the development of smart cities. With the availability of sensor data from various sources, sensor information fusion is in demand for effective integration of big data. In this article, we present an AI-based sensor-information fusion system for supporting deep supervised learning of transportation data generated and collected from various types of sensors, including remote sensed imagery for the geographic information system (GIS), accelerometers, as well as sensors for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and global positioning system (GPS). The discovered knowledge and information returned from our system provides analysts with a clearer understanding of trajectories or mobility of citizens, which in turn helps to develop better transportation models to achieve the ultimate goal of smarter cities. Evaluation results show the effectiveness and practicality of our AI-based sensor information fusion system for supporting deep supervised learning of big transportation data.

Contributions and Risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Building Smarter Cities: Insights from a Systematic Review of the Literature

“…Particularly in AVs, these changes can result in substantial reductions in travel time and energy savings [108]. From a transport planning perspective AI can also be used to differentiate spatial structures in aerial images [113] and collect masses of data for the development of more accurate, and responsive models which can be used to develop a more environmentally efficient transportation system [117].…”

“…The challenge of information fusion for collected sensor data from both fixed and mobile devices is illustrated in [75]. The application focuses on deep supervised learning in transportation systems by integrating GPS, GNSS and accelerometer readings with remote sensed imagery.…”

Starter Kit for Geotagging and Geovisualization in Health Care: Resource Paper

“…Geotagging has been used for multiple purposes in health care. Some of the main benefits of geotagging are (1) being a better tool for health care data's visualization [6,7], (2) supporting time domain data analysis [8], (3) facilitating cross-analysis of multiple data types [9][10][11], and (4) enabling automatic data analysis [12][13][14].…”

“…Remote sensing data was integrated with geotagging to track the water quality of the Ismailia Canal in Egypt [ 10 ]. Transportation data generated and collected from different types of sensors was also used in an artificial information (AI)-based deep learning system to track patterns in the mobility of residents for developing better transportation models of smart cities [ 11 ].…”
