Spatial Factor Analysis of Mobile IoT Data: A Case Study on PM Across India.

This paper proposes a novel methodology of analyzing mobile Internet of Things (IoT) data by performing spatial and anthropogenic factor-based thematic interactions with it to retrieve interesting patterns that account for the data variation. In order to test out this methodology, a study is conducted by collecting Particulate Matter (PM) data across India using a mobile IoT node, and look into the neighbouring spatial and anthropogenic factors such as human activities, settlement patterns and vegetation profile corresponding to each geo-location of the PM data. By performing the spatial factor analysis on the mobile IoT data, we evaluated the influence of human activities on PM10 levels, most significantly observed for 0更多
