Defect Detection Model Using Time Series Data Augmentation and Transformation

Time-series data provide important information in many fields,and their processing and analysis have been the focus of much research.However,detecting anomalies is very difficult due to data imbalance,temporal dependence,and noise.Therefore,methodologies for data augmentation and conversion of time series data into images for analysis have been studied.This paper proposes a fault detection model that uses time series data augmentation and transformation to address the problems of data imbalance,temporal dependence,and robustness to noise.The method of data augmentation is set as the addition of noise.It involves adding Gaussian noise,with the noise level set to 0.002,to maximize the generalization performance of the model.In addition,we use the Markov Transition Field(MTF)method to effectively visualize the dynamic transitions of the data while converting the time series data into images.It enables the identification of patterns in time series data and assists in capturing the sequential dependencies of the data.For anomaly detection,the PatchCore model is applied to show excellent performance,and the detected anomaly areas are represented as heat maps.It allows for the detection of anomalies,and by applying an anomaly map to the original image,it is possible to capture the areas where anomalies occur.The performance evaluation shows that both F1-score and Accuracy are high when time series data is converted to images.Additionally,when processed as images rather than as time series data,there was a significant reduction in both the size of the data and the training time.The proposed method can provide an important springboard for research in the field of anomaly detection using time series data.Besides,it helps solve problems such as analyzing complex patterns in data lightweight.

A Power Data Anomaly Detection Model Based on Deep Learning with Adaptive Feature Fusion

With the popularisation of intelligent power,power devices have different shapes,numbers and specifications.This means that the power data has distributional variability,the model learning process cannot achieve sufficient extraction of data features,which seriously affects the accuracy and performance of anomaly detection.Therefore,this paper proposes a deep learning-based anomaly detection model for power data,which integrates a data alignment enhancement technique based on random sampling and an adaptive feature fusion method leveraging dimension reduction.Aiming at the distribution variability of power data,this paper developed a sliding window-based data adjustment method for this model,which solves the problem of high-dimensional feature noise and low-dimensional missing data.To address the problem of insufficient feature fusion,an adaptive feature fusion method based on feature dimension reduction and dictionary learning is proposed to improve the anomaly data detection accuracy of the model.In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method,we conducted effectiveness comparisons through elimination experiments.The experimental results show that compared with the traditional anomaly detection methods,the method proposed in this paper not only has an advantage in model accuracy,but also reduces the amount of parameter calculation of the model in the process of feature matching and improves the detection speed.

A method for cleaning wind power anomaly data by combining image processing with community detection algorithms

Current methodologies for cleaning wind power anomaly data exhibit limited capabilities in identifying abnormal data within extensive datasets and struggle to accommodate the considerable variability and intricacy of wind farm data.Consequently,a method for cleaning wind power anomaly data by combining image processing with community detection algorithms(CWPAD-IPCDA)is proposed.To precisely identify and initially clean anomalous data,wind power curve(WPC)images are converted into graph structures,which employ the Louvain community recognition algorithm and graph-theoretic methods for community detection and segmentation.Furthermore,the mathematical morphology operation(MMO)determines the main part of the initially cleaned wind power curve images and maps them back to the normal wind power points to complete the final cleaning.The CWPAD-IPCDA method was applied to clean datasets from 25 wind turbines(WTs)in two wind farms in northwest China to validate its feasibility.A comparison was conducted using density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise(DBSCAN)algorithm,an improved isolation forest algorithm,and an image-based(IB)algorithm.The experimental results demonstrate that the CWPAD-IPCDA method surpasses the other three algorithms,achieving an approximately 7.23%higher average data cleaning rate.The mean value of the sum of the squared errors(SSE)of the dataset after cleaning is approximately 6.887 lower than that of the other algorithms.Moreover,the mean of overall accuracy,as measured by the F1-score,exceeds that of the other methods by approximately 10.49%;this indicates that the CWPAD-IPCDA method is more conducive to improving the accuracy and reliability of wind power curve modeling and wind farm power forecasting.

Turbo Message Passing Based Burst Interference Cancellation for Data Detection in Massive MIMO-OFDM Systems

This paper investigates the fundamental data detection problem with burst interference in massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) systems. In particular, burst interference may occur only on data symbols but not on pilot symbols, which means that interference information cannot be premeasured. To cancel the burst interference, we first revisit the uplink multi-user system and develop a matrixform system model, where the covariance pattern and the low-rank property of the interference matrix is discussed. Then, we propose a turbo message passing based burst interference cancellation(TMP-BIC) algorithm to solve the data detection problem, where the constellation information of target data is fully exploited to refine its estimate. Furthermore, in the TMP-BIC algorithm, we design one module to cope with the interference matrix by exploiting its lowrank property. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of burst interference and approach the interference-free bound.

Pavement Cracks Coupled With Shadows:A New Shadow-Crack Dataset and A Shadow-Removal-Oriented Crack Detection Approach

Automatic pavement crack detection is a critical task for maintaining the pavement stability and driving safety.The task is challenging because the shadows on the pavement may have similar intensity with the crack,which interfere with the crack detection performance.Till to the present,there still lacks efficient algorithm models and training datasets to deal with the interference brought by the shadows.To fill in the gap,we made several contributions as follows.First,we proposed a new pavement shadow and crack dataset,which contains a variety of shadow and pavement pixel size combinations.It also covers all common cracks(linear cracks and network cracks),placing higher demands on crack detection methods.Second,we designed a two-step shadow-removal-oriented crack detection approach:SROCD,which improves the performance of the algorithm by first removing the shadow and then detecting it.In addition to shadows,the method can cope with other noise disturbances.Third,we explored the mechanism of how shadows affect crack detection.Based on this mechanism,we propose a data augmentation method based on the difference in brightness values,which can adapt to brightness changes caused by seasonal and weather changes.Finally,we introduced a residual feature augmentation algorithm to detect small cracks that can predict sudden disasters,and the algorithm improves the performance of the model overall.We compare our method with the state-of-the-art methods on existing pavement crack datasets and the shadow-crack dataset,and the experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method.

The flue temperature is one of the important indicators to characterize the combustion state of an ethylene cracker furnace,the outliers of temperature data can lead to the false alarm.Conventional outlier detection algorithms such as the Isolation Forest algorithm and 3-sigma principle cannot detect the outliers accurately.In order to improve the detection accuracy and reduce the computational complexity,an outlier detection algorithm for flue temperature data based on the CLOF(Clipping Local Outlier Factor,CLOF)algorithm is proposed.The algorithm preprocesses the normalized data using the cluster pruning algorithm,and realizes the high accuracy and high efficiency outlier detection in the outliers candidate set.Using the flue temperature data of an ethylene cracking furnace in a petrochemical plant,the main parameters of the CLOF algorithm are selected according to the experimental results,and the outlier detection effect of the Isolation Forest algorithm,the 3-sigma principle,the conventional LOF algorithm and the CLOF algorithm are compared and analyzed.The results show that the appropriate clipping coefficient in the CLOF algorithm can significantly improve the detection efficiency and detection accuracy.Compared with the outlier detection results of the Isolation Forest algorithm and 3-sigma principle,the accuracy of the CLOF detection results is increased,and the amount of data calculation is significantly reduced.

Today social media became a communication line among people to share their happiness,sadness,and anger with their end-users.It is necessary to know people’s emotions are very important to identify depressed people from their messages.Early depression detection helps to save people’s lives and other dangerous mental diseases.There are many intelligent algorithms for predicting depression with high accuracy,but they lack the definition of such cases.Several machine learning methods help to identify depressed people.But the accuracy of existing methods was not satisfactory.To overcome this issue,the deep learning method is used in the proposed method for depression detection.In this paper,a novel Deep Learning Multi-Aspect Depression Detection with Hierarchical Atten-tion Network(MDHAN)is used for classifying the depression data.Initially,the Twitter data was preprocessed by tokenization,punctuation mark removal,stop word removal,stemming,and lemmatization.The Adaptive Particle and grey Wolf optimization methods are used for feature selection.The MDHAN classifies the Twitter data and predicts the depressed and non-depressed users.Finally,the proposed method is compared with existing methods such as Convolutional Neur-al Network(CNN),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Minimum Description Length(MDL),and MDHAN.The suggested MDH-PWO architecture gains 99.86%accuracy,more significant than frequency-based deep learning models,with a lower false-positive rate.The experimental result shows that the proposed method achieves better accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-measure.It also mini-mizes the execution time.

With the increasing number of digital devices generating a vast amount of video data,the recognition of abnormal image patterns has become more important.Accordingly,it is necessary to develop a method that achieves this task using object and behavior information within video data.Existing methods for detecting abnormal behaviors only focus on simple motions,therefore they cannot determine the overall behavior occurring throughout a video.In this study,an abnormal behavior detection method that uses deep learning(DL)-based video-data structuring is proposed.Objects and motions are first extracted from continuous images by combining existing DL-based image analysis models.The weight of the continuous data pattern is then analyzed through data structuring to classify the overall video.The performance of the proposed method was evaluated using varying parameter settings,such as the size of the action clip and interval between action clips.The model achieved an accuracy of 0.9817,indicating excellent performance.Therefore,we conclude that the proposed data structuring method is useful in detecting and classifying abnormal behaviors.
