Gardens of Things - the integration of IoT and deep learning to monitor and maintain green spaces to support the ecological biodiversity and wellbeing

本研究旨在了解绿色基础设施对城市生态生物多样性和社会互动的影响。该项目将在边缘计算设备上部署深度学习，以记录环境指标。它还将参与户外物联网系统的安装，以了解市民如何体验绿色空间。这种方法旨在改善实时空间监测，以及绿色基础设施的成功设计和维护。支撑“物之花园”的一个具体动机是了解数字技术如何影响环境和社区的数字素养。

This research aims to understand the impact of green infrastructure on the ecological biodiversity of cities as well as on social interactions. The project will deploy deep learning on edge computing devices to record environmental metrics. It will also engage with outdoors installation of IoT systems to understand how citizens experience green spaces. This approach aims to improve real-time spatial monitoring, as well as the successful design and maintenance of green infrastructure. A specific motivation that underpins "Gardens of Things" is to understand how digital technologies influence the environmental and digital literacy of communities.
