Description
Summary:In addressing the problem of indoor air pollution source localization, traditional methods have limitations such as strong sample dependence and low computational efficiency. This study uses a convolutional neural network to establish a pollution source inversion method based on small samples. By integrating computational fluid dynamics simulation data and deep learning techniques, a spatial pollution source identification model suitable for limited-sample conditions was constructed. In a benchmark scenario, the optimized model achieved a localization of 82.3% weighted accuracy within a prediction radius of 1 m, and the corresponding normalized error of the detected area was of less than 0.26%. In cross-scenario verification, the localization accuracy within a 1 m radius increased to 100%, and the corresponding predicted Euclidean distance error decreased by 21.43%. By using the optimal cutting ratio (α = 0.25) and a rotation-enhanced dataset (θ = 10°, n = 36), the model reduced the cross-space sample requirement to 1/5 of that of the benchmark scenario while ensuring the accuracy of spatial representation. The research findings provide an efficient and reliable deep learning solution for the localization of pollution sources in complex spaces.
