Abstract

Presented is an Online Novelty Detection System (ONDS) that uses Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and one-class classification techniques to identify novel information from multivariate times-series data. Multiple data preprocessing methods are explored and features vectors formed from frequency components obtained by the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Welch's method of estimating Power Spectral Density (PSD). The number of features are reduced by using bandpower schemes and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is used to learn parameters for GMMs on feature vectors collected from only normal operational conditions. One-class classification is achieved by thresholding likelihood values relative to statistical limits. The ONDS is applied to two different applications from different application domains. The first application uses the ONDS to evaluate systemic health of Radio Frequency (RF) power generators. Four different models of RF power generators and over 400 unique units are tested, and the average robust true positive rate of 94.76% is achieved and the best specificity reported as 86.56%. The second application uses the ONDS to identify novel events from equine motion data and assess equine distress. The ONDS correctly identifies target behaviors as novel events with 97.5% accuracy. Algorithm implementation for both methods is evaluated within embedded systems and demonstrates execution times appropriate for online use.
