  • Publication number: 20230188422
    Abstract: Techniques for grouping and labeling Internet of Things (IoT) devices are disclosed. A first set of raw events associated with a first IoT device is identified, including a transmission made by the first IoT device. A communication manner of the first IoT device is determined, based at least in part on a communication manner of the first IoT device. The first set of raw events over the first time period is examined to generate one or more formatted events of the first IoT device. The formatted events are used to extract a set of features. Similar processing is performed with respect to a second IoT device. A context-based IoT device grouping model is generated based on at least one of: (1) the features extracted for the first IoT device or (2) the features extracted for the second IoT device. The model is applied to determine that a third IoT device belongs to a particular group. A deviation by the third IoT device from group behavior is detected and an alert is generated in response.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a quantitative accuracy evaluation method and system for a result of remote sensing inversion. The method includes the following steps: acquiring measured data of a target element content in a preset zone; acquiring, based on acquired remote sensing image reflectivity of the preset zone, predicted data of the target element content in the preset zone by a remote sensing inversion model; and conducting comprehensive index evaluation of abnormal feature similarity between the measured data and the predicted data. The technical solution adopted in the present disclosure can solve the problem with quantitative accuracy evaluation of remote sensing inversion that inverted object content and measured object content are distributed inconsistently in space.
