The static image pixel data finally obtained can be used to extract the standard deviation and / or average value of the pixel values, or the image can be cut into regions to extract the standard deviation and / or average value as the final parameters to be added to the data processing in subsequent steps.

[0072] Furthermore, the associated data includes temperature, humidity, month, time and rainfall.

[0073] This embodiment builds a relationship between the data to be observed based on environmental factors and time factors and establishes a model based on this.

[0074] As a preferred solution, the method for establishing a digital twin model based on the actual real-time data and the associated data in a collection time period is:

[0087] For each of the actual real-time data, a fitting relationship feature matrix REL is established b :

[0088]

[0089] Among them, REL b (a,q) represents the element in the ath row and qth column.

After the associated data and actual real-time data are closest to the fitting type, the relationship between all independent variables and the dependent variable is integrated to establish the functional relationship of each dependent variable to the comprehensive multi-independent variables, and the most suitable function coefficient is fitted by the least squares method or gradient descent method, so as to realize the establishment of a real-time digital twin model of various state data of the building. This embodiment trains the neural network by using the widest possible range of function type labels to capture more accurately the type of function relationship under the influence of different independent variables for each dependent variable. The parameters such as the function coefficients finally found help to further reduce the fitting error and ensure the reliability of the fitting.

[0097] Finally, the method for judging whether the difference between the twin real-time data and the actual real-time data is greater than the preset threshold is:

[0098] Get the comprehensive difference parameter ε:
