Low-power chemical sensors deployed on mobile platforms make it possible to monitor pollutant concentrations across large urban areas. However, chemical sensors are prone to drift (e.g., aging, damage, poisoning) and have to be calibrated periodically. In this paper, we present an opportunistic calibration approach that relies on encounters between sensors; when in vicinity of each other, sensors exchange measurements and use the accumulated information to re-calibrate. We formulate the calibration process as weig…
