Low-Cost Sensor Calibration for Indoor Air Quality Monitoring: A Dataset, Evaluation Scenarios, and a Lightweight Model

Low-cost sensors enable scalable indoor air quality monitoring but require calibration because of nonlinear distortions, noise, and temporal drift.

Key points

  • The conventional strict pairwise calibration setting requires a co-located reference sensor at each deployment location and does not account for spatial and temporal heterogeneity.
  • To address these limitations, we introduce a six-month dataset comprising multivariate indoor air-quality measurements from low-cost and reference sensors with contextual metadata collected at five locations.
  • Based on these scenarios, we derive design requirements and propose a lightweight temporal model that combines input-window compression with residual temporal and feature fusion.
  • Experiments show strong calibration performance across all four scenarios with low edge-inference cost.
