Abstract
Systems and methods for sensor normalization are described. An example of a method includes receiving a first value of a characteristic measured by a first sensor of a first sensor type, and receiving a second value of the characteristic measured by a second sensor of a second sensor type that is more accurate than the first sensor type. A normalization for the first sensor is determined based on the first value and the second value, wherein the normalization alters a response equation of the first sensor. Normalizing another sensor of a same time as the first sensor, based, at least in part, on the normalization.
Claims25
A method of sensor normalization by a computing system, comprising:
- receiving at the computing system a first value of a characteristic measured by a first sensor of a first sensor type;
- receiving at the computing system a second value of the characteristic measured by a second sensor of a second sensor type that is more accurate than the first sensor type;
- determining by the computing system a normalization for the first sensor based, at least in part, on the first value and the second value, wherein the normalization alters a response equation of the first sensor;
- and
- normalizing a sensor of a same type as the first sensor, based, at least in part, on the normalization.
A computing system for sensor normalization, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing code executable by the processor to:
- receive a first value of a characteristic measured by a first sensor of a first sensor type operated by a first user;
- receive a second value of the characteristic measured by a second sensor of a second type that is more accurate than the first sensor type;
- determine a normalization for the first sensor based, at least in part, on the first value and the second value, wherein the normalization to alter a response equation of the first sensor;
- and
- normalize a third sensor of a same type as the first sensor and operated by a second user different than the first user.
A system for measuring a characteristic, comprising:
- a first sensor of a first sensor type to measure the characteristic to give a first value;
- a computing system to determine a normalization of the first sensor based on the first value and on a second value of the characteristic measured by a second sensor of a second sensor type that is more accurate than the first sensor type, wherein the system is to provide the normalization to an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device for normalizing a sensor of a same type as the first sensor.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising code executable by a processor of computing system to direct the computing system to:
- receive a first value of a characteristic measured by a first sensor of a first sensor type operated by a first user in a system;
- receive a second value of the characteristic measured by a second sensor of a second sensor type that is more accurate than the first sensor type;
- determine a normalization for the first sensor type based on the first value and the second value, wherein the normalization alters a response equation of the first sensor type;
- and
- provide the normalization to another system for normalization of another sensor of the first sensor type and external to the system, the another sensor operated by a second user different than the first user.
