METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EVALUATION OF SENSOR OBSERVATIONS

摘要

Method and sensor observation system (200), for reporting observations to data users (204) based on sensor data collected (2:1) from a network of sensors (202). A first observation report that originates from a sensor in the network, is provided (2:4) to a first data user and a rating with respect to quality of the first observation report is received (2:5) from the first data user. Rating information is then created (2:8) based on the received rating, and a second observation report originating from the same sensor and comprising said rating information is provided (2:10) to a second data user. The comprised rating information thus indicates reliability of the second observation report. Thereby, the second data user is enabled to estimate and use the second observation report depending on its reliability as indicated by the rating information.

1. A method in a sensor observation system for reporting observations to data users, said observations originating from sensor data collected from a network of sensors, the method comprising:
providing a first observation report originating from a sensor in the network to a first data user; receiving a rating of the first observation report with respect to quality from the first data user; creating rating information pertaining to reliability of said sensor, based on the rating received from the first data user; and providing a second observation report originating from said sensor to a second data user, the second observation report comprising said rating information to indicate reliability of the second observation report.
