Sensor devices in wireless sensor networks are vulnerable to faults during their operation in unmonitored and hazardous environments. Though various methods have been proposed by researchers to detect sensor faults, only very few research studies have reported on capturing the dynamics of the inherent states in sensor data during fault occurrence. The continuous density hidden Markov model (CDHMM) is proposed in this research to determine the dynamics of the state transitions due to fault occurrence, while neural networks are utilized to classify the faults based on the state transition probability density generated by the CDHMM. Therefore, this paper focuses on the fault detection and classification using the hybridization of CDHMM and various neural networks (NNs), namely the learning vector quantization, probabilistic neural network, adaptive probabilistic neural network, and radial basis function. The hybrid models of each NN are used for the classification of sensor faults, namely bias, drift, random, and spike. The proposed methods are evaluated using four performance metrics which includes detection accuracy, false positive rate, F1-score, and the Matthews correlation coefficient. The simulation results show that the learning vector quantization NN classifier outperforms the detection accuracy rate when compared to the other classifiers. In addition, an ensemble NN framework based on the hybrid CDHMM classifier is built with majority voting scheme for decision making and classification. The results of the hybrid CDHMM ensemble classifiers clearly indicates the efficacy of the proposed scheme in capturing the dynamics of change of statesm which is the vital aspect in determining rapidly-evolving instant faults that occur in wireless sensor networks.

Abstract Hyperspectral imaging is a versatile and powerful technology for gathering geo-data. Planes and satellites equipped with hyperspectral cameras are currently the leading contenders for large-scale imaging projects. Aiming at the shortcomings of traditional methods for detecting sparse representation of multi-spectral images, this paper proposes wireless sensor networks (WSNs) based single-hyperspectral image super-resolution method based on deep residual convolutional neural networks. We propose a different strategy that involves merging cheaper multispectral sensors to achieve hyperspectral-like spectral resolution while maintaining the WSN's spatial resolution. This method studies and mines the nonlinear relationship between low-resolution remote sensing images and high-resolution remote sensing images, constructs a deep residual convolutional neural network, connects multiple residual blocks in series, and removes some unnecessary modules. For this purpose, a decision support system is used that provides the outcome to the next layer. Finally, this paper, fully explores the similarities between natural images and hyperspectral images, use natural image samples to train convolutional neural networks, and further use migration learning to introduce the trained network model to the super-resolution problem of high-resolution remote sensing images, and solve the lack of training samples problem. A comparison between different algorithms for processing data on datasets collected in situ and via remote sensing is used to evaluate the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the method has good performance and can obtain better super-resolution effects.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to faults because of their deployment in unpredictable and hazardous environments. This makes WSN prone to failures such as software, hardware, and communication failures. Due to the sensor’s limited resources and diverse deployment fields, fault detection in WSNs has become a daunting task. To solve this problem, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Random Forest (RF), and Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) classifiers are used for classification of gain, offset, spike, data loss, out of bounds, and stuck-at faults at the sensor level. Out of six faults, two of them are induced in the datasets, i.e., spike and data loss faults. The results are compared on the basis of their Detection Accuracy (DA), True Positive Rate (TPR), Matthews Correlation Coefficients (MCC), and F1-score. In this paper, a comparative analysis is performed among the classifiers mentioned previously on real-world datasets. Simulations show that the RF algorithm secures a better fault detection rate than the rest of the classifiers.

Classification Methods

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) include large-scale sensor nodes that are densely distributed over a geographical region that is completely randomized for monitoring, identifying, and analyzing physical events. The crucial challenge in wireless sensor networks is the very high dependence of the sensor nodes on limited battery power to exchange information wirelessly as well as the non-rechargeable battery of the wireless sensor nodes, which makes the management and monitoring of these nodes in terms of abnormal changes very difficult. These anomalies appear under faults, including hardware, software, anomalies, and attacks by raiders, all of which affect the comprehensiveness of the data collected by wireless sensor networks. Hence, a crucial contraption should be taken to detect the early faults in the network, despite the limitations of the sensor nodes. Machine learning methods include solutions that can be used to detect the sensor node faults in the network. The purpose of this study is to use several classification methods to compute the fault detection accuracy with different densities under two scenarios in regions of interest such as MB-FLEACH, one-class support vector machine (SVM), fuzzy one-class, or a combination of SVM and FCS-MBFLEACH methods. It should be noted that in the study so far, no super cluster head (SCH) selection has been performed to detect node faults in the network. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that the FCS-MBFLEACH method has the best performance in terms of the accuracy of fault detection, false-positive rate (FPR), average remaining energy, and network lifetime compared to other classification methods.

Proposed Model

Data compression is a useful method to reduce the communication energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Most existing neural network compression methods focus on improving the compression and reconstruction accuracy (i.e., increasing parameters and layers), ignoring the computation consumption of the network and its application ability in WSNs. In contrast, we pay attention to the computation consumption and application of neural networks, and propose an extremely simple and efficient neural network data compression model. The model combines the feature extraction advantages of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with the data generation ability of Variational Autoencoder (VAE) and Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM), we call it CBN-VAE. In particular, we propose a new efficient convolutional structure: Downsampling-Convolutional RBM (D-CRBM), and use it to replace the standard convolution to reduce parameters and computational consumption. Specifically, we use the VAE model composed of multiple D-CRBM layers to learn the hidden mathematical features of the sensing data, and use this feature to compress and reconstruct the sensing data. We test the performance of the model by using various real-world WSN datasets. Under the same network size, compared with the CNN, the parameters of CBN-VAE model are reduced by 73.88% and the floating-point operations (FLOPs) are reduced by 96.43% with negligible accuracy loss. Compared with the traditional neural networks, the proposed model is more suitable for application on nodes in WSNs. For the Intel Lab temperature data, the average Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) value of the model can reach 32.51 dB, the average reconstruction error value is 0.0678 °C. The node communication energy consumption can be reduced by 95.83%. Compared with the traditional compression methods, the proposed model has better compression and reconstruction accuracy. At the same time, the experimental results show that the model has good fault detection performance and anti-noise ability. When reconstructing data, the model can effectively avoid fault and noise data.

Because the existing approaches for diagnosing sensor networks lead to low precision and high complexity, a new fault detection mechanism based on support vector regression and neighbor coordination is proposed in this work. According to the redundant information about meteorological elements collected by a multisensor, a fault prediction model is built using a support vector regression algorithm, and it achieves residual sequences. Then, the node status is identified by mutual testing among reliable neighbor nodes. Simulations show that when the sensor fault probability in wireless sensor networks is 40%, the detection accuracy of the proposed algorithm is over 87%, and the false alarm ratio is below 7%. The detection accuracy is increased by up to 13%, in contrast to other algorithms. This algorithm not only reduces the communication to sensor nodes but also has a high detection accuracy and a low false alarm ratio. The proposed algorithm is suitable for fault detection in meteorological sensor networks with low node densities and high failure ratios.

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.
