Robust Data-Driven Fault Detection: An Application to Aircraft Air Data Sensors by Yunmei Zhao, Hang Zhao, Jianliang Ai, Yiqun Dong

“…Data-driven methods have claimed accurate performances which scale well to different cases, but the algorithmic structures and enclosed operations are “black,” jeopardizing its robustness. To address these issues, exemplifying the FD problem of aircraft air data sensors, we explore to develop a robust (accurate, scalable, explainable, and interpretable) FD scheme using a typical data-driven method, i.e., deep neural networks (DNN). …”
