A 3D Mobile Crowdsensing Framework for Sustainable Urban Digital Twins

In this article, we propose a 3D mobile crowdsensing (3D-MCS) framework aimed at sustainable urban digital twins (UDTs). The framework comprises four key mechanisms: (1) the 3D-MCS mechanism, consisting of active and passive models; (2) the Geohash-based spatial information management mechanism; (3) the dynamic point cloud integration mechanism for UDTs; and (4) the web-based real-time visualizer for 3D-MCS and UDTs. The active sensing model features a gamified 3D-MCS approach, where participants collect point cloud data through an augmented reality territory coloring game. In contrast, the passive sensing model employs a wearable 3D-MCS approach, where participants wear smartphones around their necks without disrupting daily activities. The spatial information management mechanism efficiently partitions the space into regions using Geohash. The dynamic point cloud integration mechanism incorporates point clouds collected by 3D-MCS into UDTs through global and local point cloud registration. Finally, we evaluated the proposed framework through real-world experiments. We verified the effectiveness of the proposed 3D-MCS models from the perspectives of subjective evaluation and data collection and analysis. Furthermore, we analyzed the performance of the dynamic point cloud integration using a dataset.

Image Generative Semantic Communication with Multi-Modal Similarity Estimation for Resource-Limited Networks

To reduce network traffic and support environments with limited resources, a method for transmitting images with minimal transmission data is required. Several machine learning-based image compression methods, which compress the data size of images while maintaining their features, have been proposed. However, in certain situations, reconstructing only the semantic information of images at the receiver end may be sufficient. To realize this concept, semantic-information-based communication, called semantic communication, has been proposed, along with an image transmission method using semantic communication. This method transmits only the semantic information of an image, and the receiver reconstructs it using an image-generation model. This method utilizes a single type of semantic information for image reconstruction, but reconstructing images similar to the original image using only this information is challenging. This study proposes a multi-modal image transmission method that leverages various types of semantic information for efficient semantic communication. The proposed method extracts multi-modal semantic information from an original image and transmits only that to a receiver. Subsequently, the receiver generates multiple images using an image-generation model and selects an output image based on semantic similarity. The receiver must select the result based only on the received features; however, evaluating the similarity using conventional metrics is challenging. Therefore, this study explores new metrics to evaluate the similarity between semantic features of images and proposes two scoring procedures for evaluating semantic similarity between images based on multiple semantic features. The results indicate that the proposed procedures can compare semantic similarities, such as position and composition, between the semantic features of the original and generated images.

Self-adaptive Traffic Anomaly Detection System for IoT Smart Home Environments

With the growth of internet of things (IoT) devices, cyberattacks, such as distributed denial of service, that exploit vulnerable devices infected with malware have increased. Therefore, vendors and users must keep their device firmware updated to eliminate vulnerabilities and quickly handle unknown cyberattacks. However, it is difficult for both vendors and users to continually keep the devices safe because vendors must provide updates quickly and the users must continuously manage the conditions of all deployed devices. Therefore, to ensure security, it is necessary for a system to adapt autonomously to changes in cyberattacks. In addition, it is important to consider network-side security that detects and filters anomalous traffic at the gateway to comprehensively protect those devices. This paper proposes a self-adaptive anomaly detection system for IoT traffic, including unknown attacks. The proposed system comprises a honeypot server and a gateway. The honeypot server continuously captures traffic and adaptively generates an anomaly detection model using real-time captured traffic. Thereafter, the gateway uses the generated model to detect anomalous traffic. Thus, the proposed system can adapt to unknown attacks to reflect pattern changes in anomalous traffic based on real-time captured traffic. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the proposed system: a virtual experiment using pre-captured traffic from various regions across the world, a demonstration experiment using real-time captured traffic, and a virtual experiment using a public dataset containing the traffic generated by malware. The experimental results indicate that a system adaptable in real time to evolving cyberattacks is a novel approach for ensuring the comprehensive security of IoT devices against both known and unknown attacks.
