CONTEXTUALIZED FAIR RANKING OF CITIZEN SENSOR REPORTS

摘要

Various embodiments perform a fair ranking of citizen sensor reports. In one embodiment, a plurality of citizen sensor reports is received. Each of the plurality of citizen sensor reports is associated with a reporting target. At least one context event is identified for each of the plurality of citizen sensor reports. An impact factor is calculated for each the identified context events with respect to their citizen sensor reports. A rank is assigned to each of the plurality of citizen sensor reports with respect to each remaining citizen sensor report in the plurality of citizen sensor reports. The rank is determined based on at last a set of information within the citizen sensor report and the impact factor calculated for the citizen sensor report.
