Multiple sensor and actuator faults can be detected and isolated. Most importantly, fault magnitudes can be correctly estimated. Our approach is robust to disturbance and does not require additional sensors.

Our aim is to create a small quiet zone for astronauts in noisy spacecraft environments. A novel approach is proposed. Extensive simulations and preliminary real-time experiments demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed system.

In this paper, we propose a novel low rank anomaly detection algorithm in hyperspectral images (HSI), where three components are involved. First, due to the highly mixed nature of pixels in HSI, instead of using the raw pixel directly for anomaly detection, the proposed algorithm applies spectral unmixing algorithms to obtain the abundance vectors and uses these vectors for anomaly detection. Second , for better classification, a dictionary is built based on the mean-shift clustering of the abundance vectors to better represent the highly-correlated background and the sparse anomaly. Finally, a low-rank matrix decomposition is proposed to encourage the sparse coefficients of the dictionary to be low-rank, and the residual matrix to be sparse. Anomalies can then be extracted by summing up the columns of the residual matrix. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on both synthetic and real datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed approach constantly achieves high detection rate while maintaining low false alarm rate regardless of the type of images tested.
