Abstract

See full text

A computer system measures noise in an urban environment using data records providing a location of a noise, a time stamp associated with the noise, and a noise category. Such data records are sparse with respect to both locations and time. The computer system also accesses other information that defines correlations of among different locations and among different time slots. Such correlation data can include geographic information and historical sample data. By applying this correlated information to the sparse data records about noise, the computer system can derive noise level and noise category information over a larger geographical area. Such information can be provided continually based on received data records about noise, typically in a matter of minutes after receiving the noise data for any given time slot.
