Seasonal forecasts of crop yield are important components for agricultural policy decisions and farmer planning. A wide range of input data are often needed to forecast crop yield in a region where sophisticated approaches such as machine learning and process-based models are used. This requires considerable effort for data preparation in addition to identifying data sources. Here, we propose a simpler approach called the Analogy Based Crop-yield (ABC) forecast scheme to make timely and accurate prediction of regional crop yield using a minimum set of inputs. In the ABC method, a growing season from a prior long-term period, e.g., 10 years, is first identified as analogous to the current season by the use of a similarity index based on the time series leaf area index (LAI) patterns. Crop yield in the given growing season is then forecasted using the weighted yield average reported in the analogous seasons for the area of interest. The ABC approach was used to predict corn and soybean yields in the Midwestern U.S. at the county level for the period of 2017–2019. The MOD15A2H, which is a satellite data product for LAI, was used to compile inputs. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of crop yield forecasts was <10% for corn and soybean in each growing season when the time series of LAI from the day of year 89 to 209 was used as inputs to the ABC approach. The prediction error for the ABC approach was comparable to results from a deep neural network model that relied on soil and weather data as well as satellite data in a previous study. These results indicate that the ABC approach allowed for crop yield forecast with a lead-time of at least two months before harvest. In particular, the ABC scheme would be useful for regions where crop yield forecasts are limited by availability of reliable environmental data.

AbstractWith large deployment of wireless sensor networks, anomaly detection for sensor data is becoming increasingly important in various fields. As a vital data form of sensor data, time series has three main types of anomaly: point anomaly, pattern anomaly, and sequence anomaly. In production environments, the analysis of pattern anomaly is the most rewarding one. However, the traditional processing model cloud computing is crippled in front of large amount of widely distributed data. This paper presents an edge-cloud collaboration architecture for pattern anomaly detection of time series. A task migration algorithm is developed to alleviate the problem of backlogged detection tasks at edge node. Besides, the detection tasks related to long-term correlation and short-term correlation in time series are allocated to cloud and edge node, respectively. A multi-dimensional feature representation scheme is devised to conduct efficient dimension reduction. Two key components of the feature representation trend identification and feature point extraction are elaborated. Based on the result of feature representation, pattern anomaly detection is performed with an improved kernel density estimation method. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted with synthetic data sets and real-world data sets.

Environmental fluctuations are continuous and provide opportunities for further exploration, including the study of overground, as well as underground and submarine, strata. Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) facilitate the study of ocean-based submarine and marine parameters details and data. Hardware plays a major role in monitoring marine parameters; however, protecting the hardware deployed in water can be difficult. To extend the lifespan of the hardware, the inputs, processing and output cycles may be reduced, thus minimising the consumption of energy and increasing the lifespan of the devices. In the present study, time series similarity check (TSSC) algorithm is applied to the real-time sensed data to identify repeated and duplicated occurrences of data for reduction, and thus improve energy consumption. Hierarchical classification of ANOVA approach (HCAA) applies ANOVA (analysis of variance) statistical analysis model to calculate error analysis for realtime sensed data. To avoid repeated occurrences, the scheduled time to read measurements may be extended, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the node. The shorter time interval of observations leads to a higher error rate with lesser accuracy. TSSC and HCAA data aggregation models help to minimise the error rate and improve accuracy.
