Specifically, he has been working on alternative sensing methods to solve the \u0022urban canyon\u0022 problem encountered\u0026nbsp;when using GPS to track Georgia Tech bus movement between\u0026nbsp;midtown highrises. How can we simply use a high-resolution barometric pressure sensor to determine the location of a bus along its route? Can this really be more accurate than GPS? What other ecosystems can we apply such methods to?\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u0026nbsp;We will also open\u0026nbsp;the broader,\u0026nbsp;related topic of\u0026nbsp;what might be called \u0022orthogonal inference,\u0022 where one type of sensor data can be used to infer (apparently) unrelated information. Whether it\u0027s a single\u0026nbsp;data stream by itself, or aggregated streams from various sources, sometimes we\u0027re indirectly\u0026nbsp;giving away more information than we might realize.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A weekly gathering of the IPaT community to brainstorm about research, and stay informed about the work that everyone is doing."}],"uid":"27980","created_gmt":"2016-02-12 11:14:31","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:16:40","author":"Alyson Key","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-02-18T14:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2016-02-18T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-02-18T16:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-02-18 19:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-02-18 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-02-18 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"69599","name":"IPaT"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"168366","name":"Bill Eason"},{"id":"1484","name":"bus"},{"id":"7102","name":"GPS"},{"id":"104921","name":"GT-RNOC"},{"id":"11726","name":"Institute for People and Technology"},{"id":"68951","name":"Internet of Things"},{"id":"97401","name":"IoT"},{"id":"12888","name":"IPaT"},{"id":"10357","name":"RNOC"},{"id":"120051","name":"Thursday Think Tank"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
