Area of Science:

• Geoscience and Remote Sensing
• Computer Science and Engineering
• Network Architecture

Background:

• Existing Computing Power Networks (CPN) struggle with coordinating cross-domain heterogeneous resources for time-sensitive tasks.
• Real-time, high-scalability solutions are needed for computationally intensive emergency response scenarios like levee piping hazard inspection.

• To address the limitations of CPN in coordinating heterogeneous resources for emergency hazard detection.
• To enable real-time and scalable processing of remote sensing data for critical infrastructure monitoring.

Main Methods:

• Developed a (Com)2INet architecture integrating sensing, transmission, and computation phases.
• Utilized thermal infrared imagery and radiative transfer mechanisms for land surface temperature field retrieval in the sensing phase.
• Implemented a multi-path transmission mechanism for efficient data flow and a service-chained SACM algorithm for dynamic computation.

Main Results:

• Successfully integrated sensing, communication, and computation for enhanced hazard detection.
• Demonstrated the capability to retrieve land surface temperature fields for piping hazard identification.
• Achieved precise hazard identification through dynamic processing of temperature fields via the SACM algorithm.

Conclusions:

• The proposed (Com)2INet architecture effectively addresses challenges in real-time hazard detection for emergency scenarios.
• Seamless interaction between sensing, communication, and computation is crucial for time-sensitive remote sensing applications.
• The integrated framework provides a scalable and efficient solution for monitoring critical infrastructure like levees.
