Method and system for sensor classification

摘要

A computer implemented method, computer program product and computer system for sensor classification. The computer system receives from an unclassified sensor node a series of measurement data. The unclassified sensor node is unknown in an infrastructure knowledge base. The computer system logs the series of measurement data in a first database. A test pattern is extracted from the series of measurement data. The computer system determines a similarity measure of for the test pattern and a predefined reference pattern stored in a second database. The reference pattern classifies a capability type. The similarity measure is associated with a confidence value. The computer system suggests the capability type for classifying the unclassified sensor node if the confidence value is above a predefined threshold value and initiates an update of the infrastructure knowledge base to register the previously unclassified sensor node with the suggested capability type if the suggested capability type is accepted.
