  • Publication number: 20160183811
    Abstract: A method of identifying a predetermined type of abnormal movement of a physical object includes generating a raw matrix comprising a first array and a second array, the generation of the raw matrix. The method also includes generating an integrated matrix by performing a dimension reduction on the raw matrix. The method a further includes identifying the predetermined type of abnormal movement of the physical object by comparing the integrated matrix or a set of indexes derived from the integrated matrix with a predetermined benchmark pattern corresponding to the predetermined type of abnormal movement. Generating the raw matrix includes a first analysis on a predetermined portion of a periodic signal representative of movement of the physical object to generate the first array. Generating the raw matrix also includes performing a second analysis different from the first analysis on the predetermined portion of the periodic signal to generate the second array.

  • Patent number: 9314177
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method of detecting abnormal movement of a physical object. A periodic signal is representative of the movement of the object. According to some embodiments, a raw matrix having a first array and a second array is generated, and then an integrated matrix is generated by performing a dimension reduction on the raw matrix. A likelihood of a predetermined type of abnormal movement of the physical object is determined by comparing the integrated matrix with a predetermined benchmark pattern. In some embodiments, the generation of the raw matrix includes performing a first analysis on a predetermined portion of the periodic signal to generate the first array and performing a second analysis different from the first analysis on the predetermined portion of the periodic signal to generate the second array.
