Safety Warning

There is a growing interest in safety warning of underground mining due to the huge threat being faced by those working in underground mining. Data acquisition of sensors based on Internet of Things (IoT) is currently the main method, but the data anomaly detection and analysis of multi-sensors is a challenging task: firstly, the data that are collected by different sensors of underground mining are heterogeneous; secondly, real-time is required for the data anomaly detection of safety warning. Currently, there are many anomaly detection methods, such as traditional clustering methods K-means and C-means. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely used in data analysis and prediction. However, K-means and C-means cannot directly process heterogeneous data, and AI algorithms require equipment with high computing and storage capabilities. IoT equipment of underground mining cannot perform complex calculation due to the limitation of energy consumption. Therefore, many existing methods cannot be directly used for IoT applications in underground mining. In this paper, a multi-sensors data anomaly detection method based on edge computing is proposed. Firstly, an edge computing model is designed, and according to the computing capabilities of different types of devices, anomaly detection tasks are migrated to different edge devices, which solve the problem of insufficient computing capabilities of the devices. Secondly, according to the requirements of different anomaly detection tasks, edge anomaly detection algorithms for sensor nodes and sink nodes are designed respectively. Lastly, an experimental platform is built for performance comparison analysis, and the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in anomaly detection accuracy, delay, and energy consumption.

Human operators often diagnose industrial machinery via anomalous sounds. Given the new advances in the field of machine learning, automated acoustic anomaly detection can lead to reliable maintenance of machinery. However, deep learning-driven anomaly detection methods often require an extensive amount of computational resources prohibiting their deployment in factories. Here we explore a machine-driven design exploration strategy to create OutlierNets, a family of highly compact deep convolutional autoencoder network architectures featuring as few as 686 parameters, model sizes as small as 2.7 KB, and as low as 2.8 million FLOPs, with a detection accuracy matching or exceeding published architectures with as many as 4 million parameters. The architectures are deployed on an Intel Core i5 as well as a ARM Cortex A72 to assess performance on hardware that is likely to be used in industry. Experimental results on the model’s latency show that the OutlierNet architectures can achieve as much as 30x lower latency than published networks.

Real Time Detection

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.

Static Threshold

In times of rising energy costs and increasing customer awareness of sustainable production methods, many manufacturers take measures to reduce their energy consumption. However, after the realization of such activities the energy demand often tends to increase again due to e.g. leaks, clogged filters, defect valves or suboptimal parameter settings. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to quickly identify such increases by continuously monitoring the energy consumption and counteracting accordingly. Currently, the monitoring is either performed manually or by setting static threshold values. The manual control can be time consuming for large amounts of sensor data. By setting static threshold values only a fraction of the inefficiencies are disclosed. Another option is to use anomaly detection methods from the area of machine learning, which compare the actual sensor values with the expected ones. In this paper an overview about existing anomaly detection methods, which can be applied for this purpose, is presented.

Anomaly Detector

Anomaly detection, which aims to identify observations that deviate from a nominal sample, is a challenging task for high-dimensional data. Traditional distance-based anomaly detection methods compute the neighborhood distance between each observation and suffer from the curse of dimensionality in high-dimensional space; for example, the distances between any pair of samples are similar and each sample may perform like an outlier. In this paper, we propose a hybrid semi-supervised anomaly detection model for high-dimensional data that consists of two parts: a deep autoencoder (DAE) and an ensemble k-nearest neighbor graphs- (K-NNG-) based anomaly detector. Benefiting from the ability of nonlinear mapping, the DAE is first trained to learn the intrinsic features of a high-dimensional dataset to represent the high-dimensional data in a more compact subspace. Several nonparametric KNN-based anomaly detectors are then built from different subsets that are randomly sampled from the whole dataset. The final prediction is made by all the anomaly detectors. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on several real-life datasets, and the results confirm that the proposed hybrid model improves the detection accuracy and reduces the computational complexity.

Image Pixels

A hyperspectral image usually covers a large scale of ground scene, which contains various materials with different spectral properties. When directly exploring the background information using all the image pixels, complex spectral interactions and inter-/intra-difference of different samples will significantly reduce the accuracy of background evaluation and further affect the detection performance. To address this problem, this paper proposes a novel hyperspectral anomaly detection method based on separability-aware sample cascade model. Through identifying separability of hyperspectral pixels, background samples are sifted out layer-by-layer according to their separable degrees from anomalies, which can ensure the accuracy and distinctiveness of background representation. First, as spatial structure is beneficial for recognizing target, a new spectral–spatial feature extraction technique is used in this work based on the PCA technique and edge-preserving filtering. Second, depending on different separability computed by sparse representation, samples are separated into different sets which can effectively and completely reflect various characteristics of background across all the cascade layers. Meanwhile, some potential abnormal targets are removed at each selection step to avoid their effects on subsequent layers. Finally, comprehensively taking different good properties of all the separability-aware layers into consideration, a simple multilayer anomaly detection strategy is adopted to obtain the final detection map. Extensive experimental results on five real-world hyperspectral images demonstrate our method’s superior performance. Compared with seven representative anomaly detection methods, our method improves the average detection accuracy with great advantages.

With a large of time series dataset from the Internet of Things in Ambient Intelligence-enabled smart environments, many supervised learning-based anomaly detection methods have been investigated but ignored the correlation among the time series. To address this issue, we present a new idea for anomaly detection based on dynamic graph embedding, in which the dynamic graph comprises the multiple time series and their correlation in each time interval. We propose an entropy for measuring a graph’s information injunction with a correlation matrix to define similarity between graphs. A dynamic graph embedding model based on the graph similarity is proposed to cluster the graphs for anomaly detection. We implement the proposed model in vehicular edge computing for traffic incident detection. The experiments are carried out using traffic data produced by the Simulation of Urban Mobility framework. The experimental findings reveal that the proposed method achieves better results than the baselines by 14.5% and 18.1% on average with respect to F1-score and accuracy, respectively.

Routing Method

In wireless sensor network (WSN), the energy of sensor nodes is limited. Designing efficient routing method for reducing energy consumption and extending the WSN’s lifetime is important. This paper proposes a novel energy-efficient, static scenario-oriented routing method of WSN based on edge computing named the NEER, in which WSN is divided into several areas according to the coverage of gateway (or base station), and each of the areas is regarded as an edge area network (EAN). Each edge area network is abstracted into a weighted undirected graph model combined with the residual energy of the sensor nodes. The base station (or a gateway) calculates the optimal energy consumption path for all sensor nodes within its coverage, and the nodes then perform data transmission through their suggested optimal paths. The proposed method is verified by the simulations, and the results show that the proposed method may consume about 37% less energy compared with the conventional WSN routing protocol and can also effectively extend the lifetime of WSN.

In this paper, we characterize the main building blocks and numerically verify the classification accuracy and energy performance of SmartFog, a distributed and virtualized networked Fog technological platform for the support for Stacked Denoising Auto-Encoder (SDAE)-based anomaly detection in data flows generated by Smart-Meters (SMs). In SmartFog, the various layers of an SDAE are pretrained at different Fog nodes, in order to distribute the overall computational efforts and, then, save energy. For this purpose, a new Adaptive Elitist Genetic Algorithm (AEGA) is “ad hoc” designed to find the optimized allocation of the SDAE layers to the Fog nodes. Interestingly, the proposed AEGA implements a (novel) mechanism that adaptively tunes the exploration and exploitation capabilities of the AEGA, in order to quickly escape the attraction basins of local minima of the underlying energy objective function and, then, speed up the convergence towards global minima. As a matter of fact, the main distinguishing feature of the resulting SmartFog paradigm is that it accomplishes the joint integration on a distributed Fog computing platform of the anomaly detection functionality and the minimization of the resulting energy consumption. The reported numerical tests support the effectiveness of the designed technological platform and point out that the attained performance improvements over some state-of-the-art competing solutions are around 5%, 68% and 30% in terms of detection accuracy, execution time and energy consumption, respectively.

In wireless sensor networks, clustering class routing protocol is an important protocol type. Different clustering methods, and cluster head selection method directly affects the energy consumption of the entire network communication. This paper studies the effect of different partition methods of the network energy consumption, and to study the partitioning methods under the conditions of uneven distribution of nodes. We believe that energy efficiency clustering method should adapt the distributed of sensor nodes in order to improve energy efficiency. And according to the partition method we propose a low-power adaptive clustering routing protocol based on node distribution to partition. The protocol can effectively extend the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol can effectively prolong the network lifetime.

Fuzzy Knowledge

In recent years, applications of wireless sensor network (WSN) is emerged as the revolutionary phase in many functional areas such as industrial, environmental, business, military and many need based self-intelligent real time systems. Some of the applications require data communication from harsh physical environment which poses great challenges to wireless sensor networks. The deployment of these sensor nodes in the hostile environment cause sensor nodes failure. This demands fast, redundant fault tolerant, energy saving approaches which meet the requirements of most recurring failures and path disruption scenarios in wireless sensor networks. Hence there is need for fuzzy knowledge based fault detection because traditional fault detection methods are endured by low detection accuracy. The proposed fuzzy knowledge based faulty node detection and redundancy approach (FNDRA) is presented to identify the faulty nodes and provide the management method for nodes reusability. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was implemented using Matlab and the results shows that the proposed approach meets the constraints and requirements of most common and predicated critical failure scenarios.
