Parallel Sensing in Metaverses: Virtual-Real Interactive Smart Systems for “6S” Sensing

Abstract

In the construction of Metaverses, sensors that are referred to as the "bridge of information transmission", play a key role. The functionality and efficiency of today's sensors, which operate in a manner similar to physical sensing, are frequently constrained by their hardware and software. In this research, we proposed the Parallel Sensing framework, which includes background, concept, basic methods and typical application of parallel sensing. In our formulation, sensors are redefined as the integration of real physical sensors and virtual software-defined sensors based on parallel intelligence, in order to boost the performance of the sensors. Each sensor will have a parallel counterpart in the virtual world within the framework of parallel sensing. Digital sensors serve as the brain of sensors and maintain the same properties as physical sensors. Parallel sensing allows physical sensors to operate in discrete time periods to conserve energy, while cloud-based descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive sensors operate continuously to offer compensation data and serve as guardians. To better illustrate parallel sensing concept, we show some example applications of parallel sensing such as parallel vision, parallel point cloud and parallel light fields, both of which are designed by construct virtual sensors to extend small real data to virtual big data and then boost the performance of perception models. Experimental results demonstrate the effective of parallel sensing framework. The interaction between the real and virtual worlds enables sensors to operate actively, allowing them to intelligently adapt to various scenarios and ultimately attain the goal of "Cognitive, Parallel, Crypto, Federated, Social and Ecologic" 6S sensing.

What Does ChatGPT Say: The DAO from Algorithmic Intelligence to Linguistic Intelligence

“…From the perspective of Parallel Learning and Parallel Intelligence [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], the ChatGPT methodology is a double-loop pipeline with one descriptive learning, one predictive learning, and two prescriptive learning. As shown in Fig.…”

Mapping Metaverse Research: Identifying Future Research Areas Based on Bibliometric and Topic Modeling Techniques

“…These technologies enable the secure and transparent exchange of value, fostering novel economic systems and empowering users with a greater control over their digital assets. Complementing this focus on decentralization are the concepts of Web3, privacy, and parallel intelligence [127][128][129]. As a decentralized iteration of the internet, Web3 emphasizes the importance of user autonomy and data privacy [130,131], thereby addressing concerns regarding centralization and surveillance.…”

RadarVerses in Metaverses: A CPSI-Based Architecture for 6S Radar Systems in CPSS

“…The ACP method proposed in 2004 [18] is a methodological framework to build smart systems in CPSS: A denotes artificial systems, C corresponds to computational experiments, and P is parallel execution. It has already been widely applied in many fields, including control and management [19], [20], [21], [22], transportation [23], [24], and sensing systems [25], [26], [27], [28]. Based on the ACP method and CPSI, we propose a novel framework of RadarVerses for 6S radars in this article.…”
