This document proposes methods for novelty detection in variable speed machinery. It summarizes that:
1) Monitoring machinery is limited by changes in speed and load, termed "nuisance parameters".
2) A novel method called "multi-modal novelty detection" is proposed to employ intuition from "statistical parameterization" without its limitations by adding modal parameters like speed to feature vectors.
3) An experimental methodology is described involving sensors, data acquisition, and segmentation to generate feature vectors from variable speed tests with simulated faults, and results show standard techniques fail without speed adaptation while multi-modal novelty detection compares well.

4. Novelty Detection
Limited data
characterizing normal
state
Little or no data for
abnormal states
Compute feature
vectors of vibration
(e.g. AR model)
Methods
SVDD and Statistical
Boundaries
5. Statistical Parameterization
Vibration strongly tied to temp (speed)
Advanced by Keith Worden (Structural health
monitoring)
Segment feature vectors into small groups of modal value
Compute statistics for each group (bin)
Trend with regression or interpolation
Suffers from
Double curse of dimensionality
Describe healthy state for all
segments of modal parameter
Gaussian distribution
Good heuristic
6. Multi-Modal Novelty Detection
Employ intuition from Statistical Parameterization
Dont flatten data into bins
Add modal parameter (speed) to feature vector
Use any novelty detection technique
One parameter only
Gaussian Distribution
eliminated
Curse of dimensionality
Dependent on underlying
novelty detection technique
12. Conclusions
No speed adaptation = poor results
Statistical Parameterization
Good results
Double Curse of Dimensionality
Gaussian Distribution
Multi-Modal Novelty Detection
Comparable Results
More to come
