Notes

• Sensor data quality is crucial for the effectiveness of IoT applications, as poor data quality can render the systems useless.
• Sensor data errors such as missing data, outliers, bias, and drift are commonly addressed by researchers to improve data quality.
• The most common solutions for sensor data error detection are based on PCA and ANN, which together account for about 40% of all error detection methods.
• For fault correction in sensor data, PCA, ANN, and Bayesian networks are among the most widely used techniques.
• Sensor data errors can be corrected using methods like association rule mining, which is commonly used for imputing missing values.
• Through systematic reviews, it has been found that methods proposed to solve sensor data errors often cannot be directly compared due to non-uniform evaluation processes and the use of non-publicly available datasets.

Abstract

Sensor data quality plays a vital role in IoT applications as they are rendered useless if the data quality is bad. This systematic review aims to provide an introduction and guide for researchers who are interested in quality-related issues of physical sensor data. The process and results of the systematic review are presented which aim to answer the following research questions: what are the different types of physical sensor data errors, how to quantify or detect those errors, how to correct them and what domains are the solutions in. Out of 6970 literatures obtained from three databases (ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore and ScienceDirect) using the search string refined via topic modelling, 57 publications were selected and examined. Results show that the different types of sensor data errors addressed by those papers are mostly missing data and faults e.g. outliers, bias and drift. The most common solutions for error detection are based on PCA and ANN which accounts for about 40% of all error detection papers found in the study. Similarly, for fault correction, PCA and ANN are among the most common, along with Bayesian Networks. Missing values on the other hand, are mostly imputed using association rule mining. Other techniques include hybrid solutions that combine several data science methods to detect and correct the errors. Through this systematic review, it is found that the methods proposed to solve physical sensor data errors cannot be directly compared due to the non-uniform evaluation process and the high use of non-publicly available datasets. Bayesian data analysis done on the 57 selected publications also suggests that publications using publicly available datasets for method evaluation have higher citation rates.
