Optimized Replication of ADC-Based Particle Counting Algorithm with Reconfigurable Multi-Variables in Pseudo-Supervised Digital Twining of Reference Dust Sensor Systems.

As the application fields for digital twins have expanded, various studies have been conducted with the objective of optimizing the costs. Among these studies, research on low-power and low-performance embedded devices has been implemented at a low cost by replicating the performance of existing devices. In this study, we attempt to obtain similar particle count results in a single-sensing device replicated from the particle count results in a multi-sensing device without knowledge of the particle count acquisition algorithm of the multi-sensing device. Through filtering, we suppressed the noise and baseline movements of the raw data of the device. In addition, in the process of determining the multi-threshold for obtaining the particle counts, the existing complex particle count determination algorithm was simplified to make it possible to utilize the look-up table. The proposed simplified particle count calculation algorithm reduced the optimal multi-threshold search time by 87% on average and the root mean square error by 58.5% compared to existing method. In addition, it was confirmed that the distribution of particle count from optimal multi-thresholds has a similar shape to that from multi-sensing devices.
