A self-matching model for online anomaly recognition of safety monitoring data in dams

Abstract

The online anomaly recognition of real-time dam safety monitoring data, such as deformation and seepage data from the automatic sensing instruments (e.g., the osmometer and the multi-point displacement meter), has the premise of ensuring data reliability, and it is also one of the core functional modules of online dam safety monitoring. To compensate for the limitation of a single method to identify outliers and further improve the reliability and the rapidity of the anomaly recognition of dam safety monitoring data, a self-matching model based on data-types for online anomaly recognition (SMM) was proposed in this paper. Based on a detailed classification of dam safety monitoring data sequences, this article describes a comparison and analysis of the applicability of a statistical regression model based on the least-squares regression (LSR) model and the online robust recognition and early warning (RREW) model for different datatype sequences. For the single-step-type sequences and normal-type sequences with low fitting accuracy, which could not be completely identified by the two models above, an improved cloud model recognition method based on the diurnal variation rate (ICM) was proposed to compensate for the limitations. Finally, the SMM was determined, that is, the LSR model was used for the multi-point-outlier-type and normal-type sequences with high fitting accuracy, the RREW model method was used for the double-step-type and oscillatory-type sequences, and the ICM method was used for the single-step-type sequences and normal-type sequences with low fitting accuracy. The engineering application of the Dadu River Basin showed that this method effectively solved the problems of low calculation efficiency and a 2% misjudgment rate when using the RREW model alone, and this method greatly improved the accuracy and timeliness of the anomaly recognition of dam safety monitoring data, so it had important theoretical significance and engineering application value.
