An Indoor Multi-Environment Sensor System Based on Intelligent Edge Computing

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper presents an intelligent multi-sensor system for indoor environmental monitoring. The system includes some novel features and has potentials for various applications. However, the overall writing and presentation need to be improved, and some other minor changes are also necessary.

1) The language needs improving. Some sentences are overloaded and difficult to read. Suggestions: rephrase sentences, break down long sentences, check grammar, add punctuations...

2) Overlaps between introduction and related work. These two sections can combine and reorganise in a more logic way.

3) For specific terms, e.g. different versions of MobileNets, SSDLite, PennFudan, AiHub, mAP, etc., add brief background/explanations. They are readers who are unfamiliar with those terms, and it can be confusing for them. The explanation can be similar to the descriptions for the visualization tools (line 256-263).

4) Figures and tables need to be presented in the order as they appear in the text. So Table 2 should be after Figure 4. Same for Table 3 and Figure 5.

5) Section 3 separated into collection unit and processing unit, which would make one assumes as the unit hardware (sensors) and unit software (network models). Yet the collection unit part has network models, and the processing part has the sensors? Also, shouldn’t the human detection results be in the result section?

6) Discussion section can be combined with results, as it is just an explanation of the results, not really discussions. Overall, they are mixed up among all sections.

7) Figure 6-8, labels and legends are too small to read.

8) Add full name for SSE, SSR, SST, GRU, MAE. Superscript CO2, R2…

Reviewer 2 Report

LSTM, TVOC, PM2.5, VOC, PMV, GRU, AI, GPU, and almost every other abbreviation Are not defined. All abbreviations must be defined the first time used in the text/

Consider using CO₂ not CO2

Line 48: “This paper describes the proposed system divided into a data collection unit and a data processing unit, followed by an analysis of an environmental prediction model implemented using the collected data.” Consider improving this sentence.

Line 115: “This study is to develop…”?

Line 285: which figure ?? or do you mean figures?

Figures 9 and 10 are not clear and not described sufficiently.

Line 327: “In the paper, it proposed”

There are many more examples of grammatical errors, it is wordy in some sentences, and many phrases are repeated.

 

Conclusions do not include future study possibilities and open research questions.
