With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT), massive sensor data are being generated by the sensors deployed everywhere at an unprecedented rate. As the number of Internet of Things devices is estimated to grow to 25 billion by 2021, when facing the explicit or implicit anomalies in the real-time sensor data collected from Internet of Things devices, it is necessary to develop an effective and efficient anomaly detection method for IoT devices. Recent advances in the edge computing have significant impacts on the solution of anomaly detection in IoT. In this study, an adaptive graph updating model is first presented, based on which a novel anomaly detection method for edge computing environment is then proposed. At the cloud center, the unknown patterns are classified by a deep leaning model, based on the classification results, the feature graphs are updated periodically, and the classification results are constantly transmitted to each edge node where a cache is employed to keep the newly emerging anomalies or normal patterns temporarily until the edge node receives a newly updated feature graph. Finally, a series of comparison experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed anomaly detection method for edge computing. And the results show that the proposed method can detect the anomalies in the real-time sensor data efficiently and accurately. More than that, the proposed method performs well when there exist newly emerging patterns, no matter they are anomalous or normal.

In recent years, a large number of edge computing devices have been used to monitor the operating state of industrial equipment and perform fault diagnosis analysis. Therefore, the fault diagnosis algorithm in the edge computing device is particularly important. With the increase in the number of device detection points and the sampling frequency, mechanical health monitoring has entered the era of big data. Edge computing can process and analyze data in real time or faster, making data processing closer to the source, rather than the external data center or cloud, which can shorten the delay time. After using 8 bits and 16 bits to quantify the deep measurement learning model, there is no obvious loss of accuracy compared with the original floating-point model, which shows that the model can be deployed and reasoned on the edge device, while ensuring real time. Compared with using servers for deployment, using edge devices not only reduces costs but also makes deployment more flexible.

Aiming at the anomaly detection problem in sensor data, traditional algorithms usually only focus on the continuity of single-source data and ignore the spatiotemporal correlation between multisource data, which reduces detection accuracy to a certain extent. Besides, due to the rapid growth of sensor data, centralized cloud computing platforms cannot meet the real-time detection needs of large-scale abnormal data. In order to solve this problem, a real-time detection method for abnormal data of IoT sensors based on edge computing is proposed. Firstly, sensor data is represented as time series; K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm is further used to detect outliers and isolated groups of the data stream in time series. Secondly, an improved DBSCAN (Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm is proposed by considering spatiotemporal correlation between multisource data. It can be set according to sample characteristics in the window and overcomes the slow convergence problem using global parameters and large samples, then makes full use of data correlation to complete anomaly detection. Moreover, this paper proposes a distributed anomaly detection model for sensor data based on edge computing. It performs data processing on computing resources close to the data source as much as possible, which improves the overall efficiency of data processing. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed method has higher computational efficiency and detection accuracy than traditional methods and has certain feasibility.

Abstract Environmental perception is one of the key technologies to realize autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles are often equipped with multiple sensors to form a multi-source environmental perception system. Those sensors are very sensitive to light or background conditions, which will introduce a variety of global and local fault signals that bring great safety risks to autonomous driving system during long-term running. In this paper, a real-time data fusion network with fault diagnosis and fault tolerance mechanism is designed. By introducing prior features to realize the lightweight of the backbone network, the features of the input data can be extracted in real time accurately. Through the temporal and spatial correlation between sensor data, the sensor redundancy is utilized to diagnose the local and global condence of sensor data in real time, eliminate the fault data, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of data fusion. Experiments show that the network achieves the state-of-the-art results in speed and accuracy, and can accurately detect the location of the target when some sensors are out of focus or out of order.

Under the background of modern industrial processing and production, the sintering furnace’s temperature control system is researched to achieve intelligent smelting and reduce energy consumption. First, the specific application and implementation of edge computing in industrial processing and production are analyzed. The industrial processing and production intelligent equipment based on edge computing includes the equipment layer, the edge layer, and the cloud platform layer. This architecture improves the operating efficiency of the intelligent control system. Then, the sintering furnace in the metallurgical industry is taken as an example. The sintering furnace connects powder material particles at high temperatures; thus, the core temperature control system is investigated. Under the actual sintering furnace engineering design, the Distributed Control System (DCS) is used as the basis of sintering furnace temperature control, and the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is adopted to reduce the electrical wiring and switch contacts. The hardware circuit of DCS is designed; on this basis, an embedded operating system with excellent performance is transplanted according to functional requirements. The final DCS-based temperature control system is applied to actual monitoring. The real-time temperature of the upper, middle, and lower currents of 1# sintering furnace at a particular point is measured to be 56.95°C, 56.58°C, and 57.2°C, respectively. The real-time temperature of the upper, middle, and lower currents of 2# sintering furnaces at a particular point is measured to be 144.7°C, 143.8°C, and 144.0°C, respectively. Overall, the temperature control deviation of the three currents of the two sintering furnaces stays in the controllable range. An expert system based on fuzzy logic in the fault diagnosis system can comprehensively predict the situation of the sintering furnaces. The prediction results of the sintering furnace’s faults are closer to the actual situation compared with the fault diagnosis method based on the Backpropagation (BP) neural network. The designed system makes up for the shortcomings of the sintering furnace’s traditional temperature control systems and can control the temperature of the sintering furnace intelligently and scientifically. Besides, it can diagnose equipment faults timely and efficiently, thereby improving the sintering efficiency.

The fusion framework proposed in this paper is proved to be effective for intelligent vehicles in terms of real-time performance and reliability.

In this paper, a fault diagnosis method is proposed based on multi-sensor fusion information for a single fault and composite fault of train braking systems. Firstly, the single mass model of the train brake is established based on operating environment. Then, the pre-allocation and linear-weighted summation criterion are proposed to fuse the monitoring data. Finally, based on the improved expectation maximization, the braking modes and braking parameters are identified, and the braking faults are diagnosed in real time. The simulation results show that the braking parameters of systems can be effectively identified, and the braking faults can be diagnosed accurately based on the identification results. Even if the monitoring data are missing or abnormal, compared with the maximum fusion, the accuracies of parameter identifications and fault diagnoses can still meet the needs of the actual systems, and the effectiveness and robustness of the method can be verified.
