Multivariate Seawater Quality Prediction Based on PCA-RVM Supported by Edge Computing Towards Smart Ocean

Seawater quality prediction has a tremendous potential of enabling future smart ocean. However, this time-sensitive application puts forward a strict delay requirement, thus easily leading to overwhelmed networks. Edge computing is emerging as an effective means of solving network overload, due to its edge-based distributed processing. Therefore, we develop a hybrid multivariate prediction model for seawater quality assessment in an edge computing environment, considering the combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and relevance vector machine (RVM). The PCA method is employed for dimension reduction of ten seawater quality factors in advance. Six principal components are extracted from multiple features, used as input variables of the subsequent predictor. Finally, a RVM is developed to predict the future trends of dissolved oxygen and pH, measuring seawater quality. Experimental results on the real-world ocean sensor data show that our PCA-RVM based multivariate prediction model outperforms single RVM, SVM and its extended version in prediction accuracy and efficiency, meanwhile statistical testings confirm this finding.
