Automatic Asset Anomaly Detection in a Multi-Sensor Network

Abstract:

Embodiments determine anomalies in sensor data generated by a plurality of sensors that correspond to a single asset. Embodiments receive a first time window of clean sensor input data generated by the sensors, the clean sensor data including anomaly free data comprised of clean data points. Embodiments divide the clean data points into training data points and evaluation data points, and divide the training data points into a pre-defined number of plurality of segments of equal length. Embodiments convert each of the plurality of segments into corresponding segment curves using Kernel Density Estimation ("KDE") and determine a Jensen-Shannon ("JS") divergence value for each of the plurality of segments using the segment curves to generate a plurality of JS divergence values. Embodiments then assign the maximum value of the plurality of JS divergence values as a threshold value and validate the threshold value using the evaluation data points.
