Likelihood-based Sensor Calibration for Expert-Supported Distributed Learning Algorithms in IoT Systems
An important task in the field of sensor technology is the efficient implementation of adaptation procedures of measurements from one sensor to another sensor of identical design. One idea is to use the estimation of an affine transformation between different systems, which can be improved by the knowledge of experts. This paper presents an improved solution from Glacier Research that was published back in 1973. It is shown that this solution can be adapted for software calibration of sensors, implementation of expert-based adaptation, and federated learning methods. We evaluate our research with simulations and also with real measured data of a multi-sensor board with 8 identical sensors. The results show an improvement for both the simulation and the experiments with real data.
