Detecting sensor malfunctions in ecological sensor networks Owen Langman Center for Limnology University of Wisconsin - Madison EIM Conference Sept. 11, 2008 Albuquerque, NM
2
This is what we want to detect! What are we trying to detect? To paraphrase Jim Clark's keynote, “sometimes the data are weird” “Level 0” error “Level 1” error - No data returned - Error value - Sensor itself generates notification of error

*Image source: NTL LTER webpage: http://www.limnology.wisc.edu * Well, our data managers and QA/QC people do the detection now, what is wrong with their eyes scanning through data visualizations?
4
Online: model updates immediately as it receives data Generalizable: Algorithm learns its parameters from the data and it can describe a large number of sensor traces State driven: Computationally simple enough to put near the sensor (Math)
5
Model A: Gamma PDF, moderate sensitivity Model B: Skew-elliptical (bimodal) PDF, moderate sensitivity Model C: Gamma PDF, very low sensitivity
7
Earlier detection?
8
Performance - 2 years of expert classified data - Fairly diverse collection of sensors (DO, temperature profile, PAR, wind, etc)
9
The Near Future: Currently implementing this within the data flow in the Wisconsin buoy network
