Abstract: The accuracy of data perception in Internet of Things (IoT) systems is fundamental to achieving scientific decision-making and intelligent control. Given the frequent occurrence of sensor failures in complex environments, a rapid and accurate fault diagnosis and handling mechanism is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of the system. Addressing the challenges of insufficient feature extraction and sparse sample data that lead to low fault diagnosis accuracy, this study explores the construction of a fault diagnosis model tailored for agricultural sensors, with the aim of accurately identifying and analyzing various sensor fault modes, including but not limited to bias, drift, accuracy degradation, and complete failure. This study proposes an improved dung beetle optimization–support vector machine (IDBO-SVM) diagnostic model, leveraging the optimization capabilities of the former to finely tune the parameters of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) to enhance fault recognition under conditions of limited sample data. Case analyses were conducted using temperature and humidity sensors in air and soil, with comprehensive performance comparisons made against mainstream algorithms such as the Backpropagation (BP) neural network, Sparrow Search Algorithm–Support Vector Machine (SSA-SVM), and Elman neural network. The results demonstrate that the proposed model achieved an average diagnostic accuracy of 94.91%, significantly outperforming other comparative models. This finding fully validates the model’s potential in enhancing the stability and reliability of control systems. The research results not only provide new ideas and methods for fault diagnosis in IoT systems but also lay a foundation for achieving more precise, efficient intelligent control and scientific decision-making.
