Weighted mixed regression localization method based on three-dimensional Voronoi diagram division by Fenfang LI, Xiaochao DANG, Zhanjun HAO

“…With the development of the wireless communication technology and sensing technology, various technologies based on wireless sensor networks are applied.These technologies are widely used in the fields of intelligent agriculture, intelligent transportation, fire rescue and so on.Node localization technology is one of the basic technologies of wireless sensor networks.Location information is a part of the sensing data, which determines the specific measures to be taken in the next step.Due to the complexity of the three-dimensional (3D) space localization environment, the application of the plane positioning method in 3D space will have some limitations.Aiming at above problems, the weighted hybrid regression location algorithm WMR-SKR based on a 3D Voronoi diagram was studied.The localization algorithm was divided into two stages: offline training and online testing.The 3D space was divided into Voronoi diagrams according to the anchor nodes in the network.In the offline training stage, the sequence composed of the coordinates of the anchor nodes and Voronoi cell vertices was used as the training set for training.In the online test stage, the coordinates of unknown nodes in the network were predicted through the trained localization model.Simulation results show that the WMR-SKR algorithm can effectively reduce the node localization error and improve the node localization speed in 3D space.…”

Soft Measurement of Wastewater Treatment System Based on PSOGA-WNN by LIU Yuhui, MAI Wenjie, LI Xiaoyong, ZHAO Yinzhong, HE Xinzhong, HUANG Mingzhi

“…To accurately predict the SS_eff (effluent SS) content and COD_eff (effluent COD) concentration in water quality parameters and further improve the water quality early warning mechanism,this paper proposes the PSOGA-WNN soft measurement model of paper wastewater effluent quality to obtain the main water quality technical parameters,COD_inf (influent COD),Q (influent flow),pH (influent pH),SS_inf (influent SS),T (influent temperature),DO (influent dissolved oxygen),COD_eff,and SS_eff, for predicting the quality of wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant.Among them,the prediction results of PSOGA-WNN are compared with the neural networks of PSO-WNN,GA-WNN,and PSOGA-BP.The results show that the PSOGA-WNN neural network has the highest prediction accuracy,which indicates that the PSOGA hybrid parameter optimization algorithm based on the genetic algorithm and particle swarm algorithm has obvious superiority in optimizing the prediction accuracy of the model.The WNN neural network has certain advantages over BP neural network in terms of fitting degree as well as error accuracy and is an effective means of simulation prediction.…”
