CoRP: A Pattern-Based Anomaly Detection in Time-Series

Monitoring and analyzing sensor networks is essential for exploring energy consumption in smart buildings or cities. However, the data generated by sensors are affected by various types of anomalies and this makes the analysis tasks more complex. Anomaly detection has been used to find anomalous observations from data. In this paper, we propose a Pattern-based method, for anomaly detection in sensor networks, entitled CoRP “Composition of Remarkable Point” to simultaneously detect different types of anomalies. Our method detects remarkable points in time series based on patterns. Then, it detects anomalies through pattern compositions. We compare our approach to the methods of literature and evaluate them through a series of experiments based on real data and data from a benchmark.
