Water Pollution Detection Based on Hypothesis Testing in Sensor Networks

Water pollution detection is of great importance in water conservation. in this paper,the water pollution detection problems of the network and of the node in sensor networks are discussed. the detection problems in both cases of the distribution of the monitoring noise being normal and nonnormal are considered. the pollution detection problems are analyzed based on hypothesis testing theory firstly; then,the specific detection algorithms are given. finally,two implementation examples are given to illustrate how the proposed detection methods are used in the water pollution detection in sensor networks and prove the effectiveness of the proposed detection methods. © 2017 xu luo and jun yang.
