Abstract

Big data can be gathered on a daily basis, but it has issues on its quality and variety. On the other hand, deep data is obtained in some special conditions such as in a lab or in a field with edge-heavy devices. It compensates for the above issues of big data, and also it can be training data for machine learning. Just like a platform of pier supported by stakes, there is structure in which big data is supported by deep data. That is why we call the combination of big and deep data “pier data.” By making pier data broader and deeper, it becomes much easier to understand what is happening in the real world and also to realize Kaizen and innovation. We introduce two examples of activities on making pier data broader and deeper. First, we outline “PDR Challenge in Warehouse Picking”; a PDR (Pedestrian Dead Reckoning) performance competition which is very useful for gathering big data on behavior. Next, we discuss methodologies of how to gather and utilize pier data in “Virtual Mapping Party” which realizes map-content creation at any time and from anywhere to support navigation services for visually impaired individuals.
