  • Publication number: 20220156580
    Abstract: An anomaly detection device based on a generative adversarial network architecture, which uses the single-type training data composed of multiple normal signals to train an anomaly detection model. The anomaly detection device includes an encoder, a generator, a discriminator, and a random vector generator. In the training phase of anomaly detection model, the random latent vectors generated by the random vector generator are sequentially input to a generator to generate the synthesized signals with the same dimension as the normal signals. The synthesized signals are sequentially input into a discriminator to output the corresponding discriminant values. When the corresponding discriminant values are under the predetermined threshold, the corresponding synthesized signals are selected as the anomalous class training data, and the real normal signals are selected as the normal class training data.
