Using a Clustering Method to Detect Spatial Events in a Smartphone-Based Crowd-Sourced Database for Environmental Noise Assessment.

ABSTRACT: Noise has become a very notable source of pollution with major impacts on health, especially in urban areas. To reduce these impacts, proper evaluation of noise is very important, for example by using noise mapping tools. The Noise-Planet project seeks to develop such tools in an open science platform, with a key open-source smartphone tool "NoiseCapture" that allows users to measure and share the noise environment as an alternative to classical methods, such as simulation tools and noise observatories, which have limitations. As an alternative solution, smartphones can be used to create a low-cost network of sensors to collect the necessary data to generate a noise map. Nevertheless, this data may suffer from problems, such as a lack of calibration or a bad location, which lowers its qual
