Patent number: 11353859Abstract: A system for detecting an anomaly in an execution of an operation of a machine determines a local matrix profile (LMP) of a test signal with respect to the baseline signals. LMP is a time series of values, each LMP value for a time instance is determined for a segment of the test signal based on a minimum distance between the segment of the test signal with corresponding segments of the baseline signals, such that each LMP value is a value of a local dissimilarity of the execution of the operation of the machine with respect to the baseline executions of the operation of the machine. The system determines an accumulation of the LMP values above an LMP threshold and detects an anomaly when the accumulation above an anomaly detection threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Jing Zhang, Daniel Nikovski
