Geo-Sensing

With the advancement in sensor technology, huge amounts of data are being collected from various satellites. Hence, the task of target-based data retrieval and acquisition has become exceedingly challenging. Existing satellites essentially scan a vast overlapping region of the Earth using various sensing techniques, like multi-spectral, hyperspectral, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), video, and compressed sensing, to name a few.

Here we introduce so-far the largest subject-rated database of its kind, namely, "Effect of Millet vegetation on path-loss between CC2538 SoC 32-bit Arm Cortex-M3 based sensor nodes operating at 2.4 GHz Radio Frequency (RF)". This database contains received signal strength measurements collected through campaigns in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard precision agricultural monitoring infrastructure developed for millet crop monitoring from period 03/06/2020 to 04/10/2020.

Truth discovery techniques, which can obtain accurate aggregation results based on the weighted sensory data of users, are widely adopted in industrial sensing systems. However, there are some privacy matters that cannot be ignored in truth discovery process. While most of the existing privacy preserving truth discovery methods focus on the privacy of sensory data, they may neglect to protect the privacy of another equally important information, the tagged location information.

Accurate information about crop rotation is essential for administrators, managers and various government departments for assessment, monitoring, and management of various resources for crop escalation. Radar remote sensing, because of its all-weather capability and assured uninterrupted data supply can show a substantial part in the evaluation of crop rotation.
