Impact/Purpose:
This paper proposes a terminology scheme to describe the progression of data processing that is applied to low cost air quality sensor data.
Description:
This paper proposes a terminology scheme to describe the progression of data processing that is applied to low cost air quality sensor data. The proposed terminology has a progression of levels that would be used to describe data from effectively native unprocessed output of raw sensor components (Level-0) to, at the other end of the spectrum, data that has been integrated with other data sets and a continuous spatial surface created (Level-4). The defined terminology is described as being useful for the research community to clearly describe their data processing methods and for the manufacturers of devices to efficiently describe how they process their data.
