Abstract: In industrial inspection scenarios, early detection of machine malfunction is extremely essential as it helps in preventing any significant damage and the associated economic losses. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for an acoustic based anomaly detection in industrial machines using a beamforming and a sequential transform learning. Herein, the system employs two-stage multi-channel source separation technique that uses the well-known delay and sum beamforming followed by a recent data-driven sequential transform learning (STL) approach to obtain clean sources. The STL is a solution to linear state-space model where operators/matrices are learnt from data and is used here to model the dynamics of time-varying source signals for source separation. Subsequently, a reference template matching is employed on each separated source to detect an anomaly.
