Non-intrusive load monitoring(NILM)can infer the status of the appliances in operation and their energy consumption by analyzing the energy data collected from monitoring devices. With the rapid increase of electric loads in amount and type, the traditional way of uploading all energy data to cloud is facing enormous challenges. It becomes increasingly significant to construct distinguishable load signatures and build robust classification models for NILM. In this paper, we propose a load signature construction method for load recognition task in home scenarios. The load signature is based on the Gramian angular field encoding theory,which is convenient to construct and significantly reduces the data transmission volume of the network. Moreover,edge computing architecture can reasonably utilize computing resources and relieve the pressure of the *** experimental results on NILM datasets demonstrate that the proposed method obtains superior performance in the recognition of household appliances under insufficient resources.

How to obtain reliable vehicle heading information in the event of GNSS rejection is the key part of the current navigation scheme. In this paper, a vehicle-mounted polarization orientation strategy for sloping roads and occlusion is investigated. For inclined road circumstances, a polarization orientation scheme with tilt compensation ability is designed which is not limited to the field of view of the image polarization compass, and a vision modulation model is provided. On this premise, a solar azimuth region orientation (SAO) strategy is developed, which lowers the measurement error caused by occlusion, and improves the image polarization compass's robustness under complex road conditions. Furthermore, outdoor experiments are delivered to testify the effectiveness of the method. In the vehicle experiment, the root mean square error (RMSE) is reduced by more than 82% when compared to the typical polarization orientation technique. IEEE
