The first decade of the century witnessed a proliferation of devices with sensing and communication capabilities in the possession of the average individual. Examples range from camera phones and wireless global positioning system units to sensor-equipped, networked fitness devices and entertainment platforms (such as Wii). Social networking platforms emerged, such as Twitter, that allow sharing information in real time. The unprecedented deployment scale of such sensors and connectivity options ushers in an era of novel data-driven applications that rely on inputs collected by networks of humans or measured by sensors acting on their behalf. These applications will impact domains as diverse as health, transportation, energy, disaster recovery, intelligence and warfare. This paper surveys the important opportunities in human-centric sensing, identifies challenges brought about by such opportunities and describes emerging solutions to these challenges.

In this study, for Istanbul, there are two Cors Networks (Cors-TR, Iski Cors) providing Virtual Reference Station (VRS), and Flachen Korrektur Parameter (FKP), corrections to rover receiver for determining 3-D positions in real time by Global Positioning System (GPS). To determine which method (or technique) provides accurate method for position fixing, a test network consisting of 49 stations was set up in Yildiz Technical University Davudpasa Campus. The coordinates of the stations in the test network were determined by conventional geodetic, classical RTK, VRS and FKP methods serviced by both Cors-TR and Iski Cors. The results were compared to the coordinates by the conventional method by using total station. The results showed a complex structure as the accuracy differs from one component to another such as in horizontal coordinates, Y components by CorsTR_VRS and Cors_TR_ FKP showed 'best' results while the same technique provided X components consistent accuracy with the Y component but less accurate than by real time kinematic (RTK). In vertical components, of all the techniques used for the h components, CorsTR_VRS showed 'best' accuracy with three outliers.

Memahami nilai-nilai kearifan lokal melalui seni budaya sangat penting agar warisan leluhur tersebut dapat dilestarikan. Kota Denpasar sebagai Ibu Kota Provinsi Bali memiliki nilai-nilai kearifkan lokal yang melekat di berbagai karya seni di kota tersebut seperti arsitektur bangunan, ukiran, lukisan, patung dan sebagainya. Perkembangan teknologi 4.0 saat ini seharusnya dimanfaatkan tidak hanya kepentingan ekonomi di Kota Denpasar namun juga untuk kepentingan sosial budaya. Salah satu teknologi yang bisa dimanfaatkan adalah augmented reality (AR). Pemanfaatan AR untuk kepentingan budaya memiliki tantangan tersendiri namun bukan tidak mungkin dilakukan. Adanya AR akan mempermudah masyarakat dan wisatawan mengakses informasi dari sebuah objek karya seni. Terlebih lagi informasi tersebut dapat diakses secara real time. Dengan semakin banyaknya karya seni budaya yang tersampaikan makna, informasi dan fakta nilai-nilai kearifan lokal yang terkandung didalamnya akan semakian meningkatkan kepedulian wisatawan untuk menghormati, turut melestarikan dan menjaganya. Pengabdian ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk implementasi aplikasi AR dalam rangka pengenalan atraksi wisata yang berupa karya seni bangunan seperti arsitektur bangunan dan patung. Adapun aplikasi AR yang diimplementasikan berbasis lokasi dengan memanfaatkan teknologi Global Positioning System (GPS).


There is a clear need to enhance security action to prevent any malicious use or inadvertent abuse of radiation sources. Some of these radioactive sources are consistently transferred beyond the office or laboratory grounds for work and consulting reasons. This paper presents the early development of the radioactive citation tracking, which combined the Arduino microcontroller, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Mobile Communication System (GSM) systems. The monitoring scheme will assist the proprietor track the motion of irradiated sources. The system is completely capable of monitoring the motion of the toxic substance through GPS satellite signals. The GPS position could either be transferred to the headquarters at a set intervalShort Messaging Service (SMS) enables real-time surveillance or storage on a flash drive for offline surveillance and information capturing..

O posicionamento em tempo real por meio do emprego dos sinais de satélites foi um avanço nas navegações aérea, marítima e terrestre com o surgimento do GPS (Global Positioning System). Contudo as precisões horizontais e verticais de 100 m e 150 m (nível de probabilidade de 95%) alcançadas, estando a SA (Selective Availability) ativada, passaram a não ser satisfatórias para muitas aplicações e os usuários buscaram galgar outros níveis de precisões. Esforços foram investidos no chamado posicionamento diferencial DGPS (Differential GPS), o qual possibilitou obter precisões em torno de dez vezes melhores do que as do posicionamento absoluto.  Posteriormente, usando-se a fase da onda portadora, conseguiu-se realizar posicionamento com maior acurácia por meio do método RTK (Real Time Kinematic), atingindo qualidade centimétrica. Na sequência, houve uma evolução para posicionamentos em rede, empregando, por exemplo, o algoritmo de VRS (Virtual Reference Station). Vários erros nas observáveis dos satélites passaram a ser modelados com uma solução de multiestações em tempo real. A partir de 2012, surgiram serviços e produtos que favoreceram o desenvolvimento do RT-PPP (Real-Time Precise Point Positioning) baseado no conceito SSR (State Space Representation). A busca da solução das ambiguidades no RT-PPP deu origem ao PPP-RTK com menor tempo de fixação das ambiguidades e convergência para a solução acurada do posicionamento. Neste artigo apresenta-se como foi a evolução do posicionamento em tempo real, algumas das aplicações no âmbito nacional e as perspectivas  desta modalidade de posicionamento para o futuro.
