DC-FIPD: Fraudulent IP Identification Method Based on Homology Detection

Currently,telecom fraud is expanding from the traditional telephone network to the Internet,and identifying fraudulent IPs is of great significance for reducing Internet telecom fraud and protecting consumer rights.However,existing telecom fraud identification methods based on blacklists,reputation,content and behavioral characteristics have good identification performance in the telephone network,but it is difficult to apply to the Internet where IP(Internet Protocol)addresses change dynamically.To address this issue,we propose a fraudulent IP identification method based on homology detection and DBSCAN(Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise)clustering(DC-FIPD).First,we analyze the aggregation of fraudulent IP geographies and the homology of IP addresses.Next,the collected fraudulent IPs are clustered geographically to obtain the regional distribution of fraudulent IPs.Then,we constructed the fraudulent IP feature set,used the genetic optimization algorithm to determine the weights of the fraudulent IP features,and designed the calculation method of the IP risk value to give the risk value threshold of the fraudulent IP.Finally,the risk value of the target IP is calculated and the IP is identified based on the risk value threshold.Experimental results on a real-world telecom fraud detection dataset show that the DC-FIPD method achieves an average identification accuracy of 86.64%for fraudulent IPs.Additionally,the method records a precision of 86.08%,a recall of 45.24%,and an F1-score of 59.31%,offering a comprehensive evaluation of its performance in fraud detection.These results highlight the DC-FIPD method’s effectiveness in addressing the challenges of fraudulent IP identification.

Application of Radial Basis Function Network in Sensor Failure Detection

Aim To detect sensor failure in control system using a single sensor signal. Methods A neural predictor was designed based on a radial basis function network(RBFN), and the neural predictor learned the sensor signal on line with a hybrid algorithm composed of n means clustering and Kalman filter and then gave the estimation of the sensor signal at the next step. If the difference between the estimation and the actural values of the sensor signal exceeded a threshold, the sensor could be declared to have a failure. The choice of the failure detection threshold depends on the noise variance and the possible prediction error of neural predictor. Results and Conclusion\ The computer simulation results show the proposed method can detect sensor failure correctly for a gyro in an automotive engine.

Application of Wavelets Transform to Fault Detection in Rotorcraft UAV Sensor Failure

This paper describes a novel wavelet-based approach to the detection of abrupt fault of Rotorcrafi Unmanned Aerial Vehicle （RUAV） sensor system. By use of wavelet transforms that accurately localize the characteristics of a signal both in the time and frequency domains, the occurring instants of abnormal status of a sensor in the output signal can be identified by the multi-scale representation of the signal. Once the instants are detected, the distribution differences of the signal energy on all decomposed wavelet scales of the signal before and after the instants are used to claim and classify the sensor faults.

Automated detection and identification of white-backed planthoppers in paddy fields using image processing

A survey of the population densities of rice planthoppers is important for forecasting decisions and efficient control. Tra- ditional manual surveying of rice planthoppers is time-consuming, fatiguing, and subjective. A new three-layer detection method was proposed to detect and identify white-backed planthoppers （WBPHs, Sogatella furcifera （Horvath）） and their developmental stages using image processing. In the first two detection layers, we used an AdaBoost classifier that was trained on a histogram of oriented gradient （HOG） features and a support vector machine （SVM） classifier that was trained on Gabor and Local Binary Pattern （LBP） features to detect WBPHs and remove impurities. We achieved a detection rate of 85.6% and a false detection rate of 10.2%. In the third detection layer, a SVM classifier that was trained on the HOG features was used to identify the different developmental stages of the WBPHs, and we achieved an identification rate of 73.1%, a false identification rate of 23.3%, and a 5.6% false detection rate for the images without WBPHs. The proposed three-layer detection method is feasible and effective for the identification of different developmental stages of planthoppers on rice plants in paddy fields.

Output only modal identification and structural damage detection using time frequency & wavelet techniques

The primary objective of this paper is to develop output only modal identification and structural damage detection. Identification of multi-degree of freedom （MDOF） linear time invariant （LTI） and linear time variant （LTV--due to damage） systems based on Time-frequency （TF） techniques--such as short-time Fourier transform （STFT）, empirical mode decomposition （EMD）, and wavelets--is proposed. STFT, EMD, and wavelet methods developed to date are reviewed in detail. In addition a Hilbert transform （HT） approach to determine frequency and damping is also presented. In this paper, STFT, EMD, HT and wavelet techniques are developed for decomposition of free vibration response of MDOF systems into their modal components. Once the modal components are obtained, each one is processed using Hilbert transform to obtain the modal frequency and damping ratios. In addition, the ratio of modal components at different degrees of freedom facilitate determination of mode shape. In cases with output only modal identification using ambient/random response, the random decrement technique is used to obtain free vibration response. The advantage of TF techniques is that they arc signal based; hence, can be used for output only modal identification. A three degree of freedom 1：10 scale model test structure is used to validate the proposed output only modal identification techniques based on STFT, EMD, HT, wavelets. Both measured free vibration and forced vibration （white noise） response are considered. The secondary objective of this paper is to show the relative ease with which the TF techniques can be used for modal identification and their potential for real world applications where output only identification is essential. Recorded ambient vibration data processed using techniques such as the random decrement technique can be used to obtain the free vibration response, so that further processing using TF based modal identification can be performed.

Gas Leakage Detection and Pressure Difference Identification by Asymmetric Differential Pressure Method

Currently,the measurement methods for pneumatic system leakage include bubbling,ultrasonic,and pressure detection methods.These methods are sensitive to high-precision sensors,long detection times,and stable external environments.The traditional differential pressure method involves severe differential pressure fluctuations caused by environmental pressure fluctuations or electromagnetic noise interference of sensors,leading to inaccurate detection.In this paper,a differential pressure fitting method for an asymmetric differential pressure cylinder is proposed.It overcomes the limitation of the detection efficiency caused by the asynchronous temperature recovery of the two chambers in the asymmetric differential pressure method and uses the differential pressure substitution equation to replace the differential calculation of the differential pressure.The improved differential pressure method proposes an innovation based on the detection principle and calculation method.Additionally,the influence of the parameters in the differential pressure substitution equation on the leakage calculation results was simulated,and the specific physical significance of the parameters of the differential pressure substitution equation was explained.The experiments verified the fitting effect and proved the accuracy of this method.Compared with the traditional differential pressure method,the maximum leakage deviation of inhibition was 0.5 L/min.Therefore,this method can be used to detect leaks in air tanks.

Metabonomic analysis of hepatitis B virus-induced liver failure:identification of potential diagnostic biomarkers by fuzzy support vector machine

Hepatitis B virus （HBV）-induced liver failure is an emergent liver disease leading to high mortality. The severity of liver failure may be reflected by the profile of some metabolites. This study assessed the potential of using metabolites as biomarkers for liver failure by identifying metabolites with good discriminative performance for its phenotype. The serum samples from 24 HBV-indueed liver failure patients and 23 healthy volunteers were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS） to generate metabolite profiles. The 24 patients were further grouped into two classes according to the severity of liver failure. Twenty-five eommensal peaks in all metabolite profiles were extracted, and the relative area values of these peaks were used as features for each sample. Three algorithms, F-test, k-nearest neighbor （KNN） and fuzzy support vector machine （FSVM） combined with exhaustive search （ES）, were employed to identify a subset of metabolites （biomarkers） that best predict liver failure. Based on the achieved experimental dataset, 93.62% predictive accuracy by 6 features was selected with FSVM-ES and three key metabolites, glyeerie acid, cis-aeonitie acid and citric acid, are identified as potential diagnostic biomarkers.

Non-coherent sequence detection scheme for satellite-based automatic identification system

The satellite-based automatic identification system (AIS) receiver has to encounter the frequency offset caused by the Doppler effect and the oscillator instability. This paper proposes a non-coherent sequence detection scheme for the satellite-based AIS signal transmitted over the white Gaussian noise channel. Based on the maximum likelihood estimation and a Viterbi decoder, the proposed scheme is capable of tolerating a frequency offset up to 5% of the symbol rate. The complexity of the proposed scheme is reduced by the state-complexity reduction, which is based on per-survivor processing. Simulation results prove that the proposed non-coherent sequence detection scheme has high robustness to frequency offset compared to the relative scheme when messages collision exists.

An Efficient Fuzzy Logic Fault Detection and Identification Method of Photovoltaic Inverters

Fuzzy logic control(FLC)systems have found wide utilization in several industrial applications.This paper proposes a fuzzy logic-based fault detection and identification method for open-circuit switch fault in grid-tied photovoltaic(PV)inverters.Large installations and ambitious plans have been recently achieved for PV systems as clean and renewable power generation sources due to their improved environmental impacts and availability everywhere.Power converters represent the main parts for the grid integration of PV systems.However,PV power converters contain several power switches that construct their circuits.The power switches in PV systems are highly subjected to high stresses due to the continuously varying operating conditions.Moreover,the grid-tied systems represent nonlinear systems and the system model parameters are changing continuously.Consequently,the grid-tied PV systems have a nonlinear factor and the fault detection and identification(FDI)methods based on using mathematical models become more complex.The proposed fuzzy logic-based FDI(FL-FDI)method is based on employing the fuzzy logic concept for detecting and identifying the location of various switch faults.The proposed FL-FDI method is designed and extracted from the analysis and comparison of the various measured voltage/current components for the control purposes.Therefore,the proposed FL-FDI method does not require additional components or measurement circuits.Additionally,the proposed method can detect the faulty condition and also identify the location of the faulty switch for replacement and maintenance purposes.The proposed method can detect the faulty condition within only a single fundamental line period without the need for additional sensors and/or performing complex calculations or precise models.The proposed FL-FDI method is tested on the widely used T-type PV inverter system,wherein there are twelve different switches and the FDI process represents a challenging task.The results shows the superior and accurate performance of the proposed FL-FDI method.

Mutation detection and fast identification of switching system based on data-driven method

In the engineering field,switching systems have been extensively studied,where sudden changes of parameter value and structural form have a significant impact on the operational performance of the system.Therefore,it is important to predict the behavior of the switching system,which includes the accurate detection of mutation points and rapid reidentification of the model.However,few efforts have been contributed to accurately locating the mutation points.In this paper,we propose a new measure of mutation detection—the threshold-based switching index by analogy with the Lyapunov exponent.We give the algorithm for selecting the optimal threshold,which greatly reduces the additional data collection and the relative error of mutation detection.In the system identification part,considering the small data amount available and noise in the data,the abrupt sparse Bayesian regression(abrupt-SBR)method is proposed.This method captures the model changes by updating the previously identified model,which requires less data and is more robust to noise than identifying the new model from scratch.With two representative dynamical systems,we illustrate the application and effectiveness of the proposed methods.Our research contributes to the accurate prediction and possible control of switching system behavior.

Automatic System for Failure Detection in Hydro-Power Generators

This paper presents an automatic system for failure detection in hydro-power generators. The main idea of this system is to detect failure using current and voltage signals acquired without any type of internal interference in the generator operation. The detected failures could be mechanical or electrical origins, such as: problems in bearings, unwanted vibrations, partial discharges, misalignment, unbalancing, among others. It is possible because the generator acts as a transducer for mechanical problems, and they appear in current and voltage signals. This automatic system based on electric signature analysis has been installed in Itapebi Power Plant generators since 2012. Some results are presented in this paper.

Predicting heartbeat arrival time for failure detection over internet using auto-regressive exogenous model

Predicting heartbeat message arrival time is crucial for the quality of failure detection service over intemet. However, intemet dynamic characteristics make it very difficult to understand message behavior and accurately predict heartbeat arrival time. To solve this problem, a novel black-box model is proposed to predict the next heartbeat arrival time. Heartbeat arrival time is modeled as auto-regressive process, heartbeat sending time is modeled as exogenous variable, the model＇ s coefficients are estimated based on the sliding window of observations and this result is used to predict the next heartbeat arrival time. Simulation shows that this adaptive auto-regressive exogenous （ARX） model can accurately capture heartbeat arrival dynamics and minimize prediction error in different network environments.

Robust Principal Component Test in Gross Error Detection and Identification

Principle component analysis （PCA） based chi-square test is more sensitive to subtle gross errors and has greater power to correctly detect gross errors than classical chi-square test. However, classical principal com- ponent test （PCT） is non-robust and can be very sensitive to one or more outliers. In this paper, a Huber function liked robust weight factor was added in the collective chi-square test to eliminate the influence of gross errors on the PCT. Meanwhile, robust chi-square test was applied to modified simultaneous estimation of gross error （MSEGE） strategy to detect and identify multiple gross errors. Simulation results show that the proposed robust test can reduce the possibility of type Ⅱ errors effectively. Adding robust chi-square test into MSEGE does not obviously improve the power of multiple gross error identification, the proposed approach considers the influence of outliers on hypothesis statistic test and is more reasonable.
