Mobile Phone as a Sensor
This project aims to explore the possibility of using mobile phone as a sensor. New smart phone typically have over 14 sensors. Each of these sensors are less valuable individually. However, they can tell valuable stories when they are collected and fused together. Capturing data through sensors and sensing them to the cloud for processing has its own draw backs in terms of network communication and energy consumption. To this end, we explored how we can optimally use mobile phones as a sensor.
